Why Dr. Tony Lamair Burks II?
Dr. Tony Lamair Burks II is an award-winning educator, affectionately known as Doctor B the StoryWeaver, who first learned the art and craft of storytelling from his four grandparents in LA…Lower Alabama.

He has been a featured storyteller, workshop facilitator, keynote panelist, and commencement speaker at dozens of public, private, and independent schools, public school districts, universities, conferences, and symposia in the United States and abroad.

His stories blend childhood experiences and educational issues and have appeared in newspapers in North Carolina and Tennessee and in books nationally.

He masterfully recounts stories of meeting famed dancer and anthropologist Katherine Dunham and Her Royal Highness Maha Chakri Sirindhorn The Princess of Thailand with the same passion as he retells stories of his childhood growing up in Dothan, Alabama.

His stories offer life lessons; what Dr. Burks calls Bought Wisdom.
