The honey-toned voice professional enjoys stories that provide insight into the human condition while promoting understanding and empathy.
Blair frequently confides, "I love to learn. I love to talk. I love storytelling." Hence her reason for leaving a lucrative career as an educator and commercial architect. Those experiences and others have seasoned Blair's voice, lending it a soothing tone of reassurance and poignant recall.

As an independent producer, Blair recently acquired the audiobook rights to a non-fiction memoir that impacted her life in the mid-1990s. Of "Advice to a Young Wife from an Old Mistress," she says, "it has never left my mind. I want the world to hear it and be changed."
