Theodore S. Holmes, III, proudly recognized as Teddy the Brave, is a South Georgia native and storyteller. Holding a B.A. in Speech and Theatre from the unsinkable Albany State University (GA) and an M.F.A. in Acting from RU (VA), he has spent the past several years cultivating a work of honesty and advocacy--all the while, exploring the magic within himself. A poet at best, Teddy aims to spark new thought and inspire change through the art of storytelling. Teddy the Brave is also a mental health advocate, speaking openly about mental illness and abuse, oppressive norms, and religious trauma. Through his work as a songbird, playwright, and lecturer, he is invested in the healing and the uplifting of humanity. Love, Justice, and Liberation are key among many of the threads that help to facilitate his overall mission of adorning the disinherited, telling daring truths, and raising a sound for those who can't find their voices. Teddy acknowledges the Creator, his ancestors, his village, and especially the children, whose laughter has pulled him from strange, dark places in many war-torn seasons. He expresses gratitude to you for your support on this joy-filled embarkation. Stick around long enough, and he will recite to you an answer for your woes. He will honor your lament. He will sing you a story.
