Sue's Biography

Susan Minns is a humorous speaker who gets audiences laughing at the calamities of her life lived in the disaster zone.

Born in Toronto and raised during the swingin' 60's she has never lost her love for the wild side or her hatred of camping (she will tell you that she doesn't really have MS, but just refuses to spend another vacation in a tent). Her hobbies/obsessions include her family, travel (big cities, not the wide open spaces), music (listening not performing, funk not opera), garishly painting old furniture and watching 'Survivor'.

She worked in the childcare field for over 20 years until her MS forced her to look at a second career. The kids loved it when "Miss Sue" would tell them stories and now it's your turn to sit back and hear some of them.

Sharing the account of her diagnosis of MS, cancer and the ways in which she has chosen to meet these trials head on, Sue's approach to life's little annoyances and big obstacles are sure to entertain and motivate your group, as she takes you with her through her 100% true experiences.

Her family even went through a house fire that she blames on her two black cats.
