Meet Your Historian
I'm Colette Lefebvre Davis, a public historian, writer, journalist, and educator.
My professional background includes National Park Service interpretation, museum programming, historical research, public history, and more than fifteen years of educational experience.
I believe the best historical work does more than present dates and facts. It brings forward the voices, experiences, and complexities of the people who lived before us.
Through Historical Persuasions, I help organizations and individuals uncover, interpret, and share those stories with accuracy, creativity, and purpose.
