Traci Parks is a blind photographer, humorist AND . . .

Certified Laughter Leader

“A what?!” you ask, amazed since you’ve never heard such a thing.

Yes, she is a Certified (pause) Laughter (pause) Leader , or CLL, through The World Laughter Tour. She teaches the principles of therapeutic humor through laughter exercises, and Good-Hearted Living to show people how humor biologically impacts the human body in very positive ways and encourages all of us to laugh ourselves healthy!

Traci is also visually impaired. That means that even with her glasses she can’t tell what color your eyes are, can’t drive (well, she can but the Highway Patrol prefers she not) and has been known to mistake a mailbox for a person and probably can’t read your name tag.

But being a Laughter Leader does not guarantee laughter all the time. Since 2007 she has lost her husband, her house, her part time job, her sanity, her disability benefits and a few socks in the dryer. Despite these obstacles she is still laughing – most of the time – and her programs are informative, interactive and best of all – filled with laughter!
