Lily Bengfort
About
I'm Lily, founder, CEO, writer, author, instructor, and personal cheerleader dedicated to helping you write your memoir. As the author and publisher of "Letters From Edna" and numerous articles for a daily newspaper, I'm currently working on my personal memoir, "Almost American."
My passion lies in empowering you to tell your story, believing that everyone’s life is a story worth sharing. Growing up in Guyana, New York City, Iowa and Maryland, I listened to the rich stories of my extended family, tracing our migration from India to Guyana and then to the United States. Over the past decade, my writings have preserved the stories, recipes, and culture of the Indo-Caribbean community.
Starting as a journalist, I transitioned to becoming a CEO in technology and now focus on guiding others to explore their creative selves. You’ll often find me engaged with stories everywhere, from playgrounds to football fields always inspired by the Maryland State Arts Council's vibrant community. Let's bring your story to life together.
Specialty Focus Groups: Boomers, Veterans, athletes, multigenerational stories, Indo Caribbean peoples.
