Who are behind Griottes Polyglottes?
Ingrid BROUSSILLON - Founder
Once upon a time, a baby girl was born in Guadeloupe, a French island far, far away in the Caribbean.
While growing up she loved listening to storytelling and she would read the same tales over and over.
But tales and storytelling would not make a living for her (at least that is what she had been told).
Then she moved to France to complete her studies in Business Management, got a job and started to live an adult life.
Something was missing, and she knew it was the joy that she used to find in the books she read or the storytelling she listened to.
As soon as she could, she took acting and storytelling classes alongside her day job.
In 2017 she decided that she wanted to be fluent in English, so she moved to Vancouver.
Living there, she realized that Vancouverites would love to speak French, while she would love to speak English herself.
She realized that due to her accent, it would be very difficult for her to pursue her passion for acting and storytelling.
So she decided she would overcome this obstacle and create her own opportunities.
Late in 2018 she created Griottes Polyglottes a business where adults and kids can master French by using their entire body and emotions.
Her dream is to provide a place for everyone to speak several languages while having fun and being creative.
