Episode 43: Abby Williamson
I am so excited to share my conversation with Abby Williamson! Abby and I danced together in Ad Deum II Dance Company, and I had so much fun getting to catch up with her. Abby currently lives and works in Kathmandu, Nepal with her husband and their two sons, Jude and Esko. I am so grateful Abby and I were able to connect for this conversation just before they returned to Nepal. Her husband, Ross, is a teacher trainer there, working toward better quality education in schools throughout the country. Abby teaches a student leadership course at the international school as well as spearheading her new venture, The Culture Canvas.
Abby shares her journey as a dancer and the development of her love for arts education. She has experience teaching the arts internationally in Seattle, Afghanistan, Houston, South Korea, and now Nepal.
Abby and I chat about the heart behind The Culture Canvas, which provides arts and culture learning resources for little global citizens! She is passionate about providing learning experiences for kids that come from a global perspective. I personally was encouraged to hear about Abby’s steps of faith throughout her journey. It is a great reminder that in moments of transition, God is with us and He is providing.
