Who is Nina M. Kelly?

Author, Mythologist, Storyteller, Humanitarian

As a mythologist, storyteller, author, humanitarian Nina’s sense of adventure has always been sparked through learning more about people and their cultures.

Nina believes if you understand a person’s cultural background, stories, myths, and rituals, acceptance is more readily attained. Her compassion for the art of healing through stories brought her to the place of writing her book, ā€œGrace Has A Silent Voiceā€. Through many years working with death and dying patients she gained a tremendous respect for the proper honoring of story in one’s life. In this book she wishes to acknowledge all the silent heroes that walk into our life for a moment then quickly disappear. This interaction inevitably leaves an imprint that continues to remind us there is beauty in humanity. Simultaneously Nina devoted her life to the creative and performing arts. Each culture is strongly embedded in healing through the various art form expressions. She strongly promotes this concept as demonstrated throughout history.
