Margaret Rose Edinburgh is a native of Terre Haute, Indiana. A graduate of Indiana State University, she currently resides in the Atlanta-metropolitan area. As the mother of one adult daughter, Tomiyko Roberts, Margaret has declared herself a "sampler" of life. By declaring this classification, she is committed to continually learning new things and having new experiences. Once new things have been "sampled," she has declared that she will tranfer her new knowledge/skills to others. Her ultimate goal is to impact mankind in a positive way.

This is the artistâs first storytelling CD. Yet, it is just another of the unique ways Margaret Rose Edinburgh has chosen to educate the masses. Edinburgh is an award winning, internationally celebrated cloth doll artist. Some of the pieces from her âcollectionâ demanded that she lend her voice to ensuring their stories get told. This is just the beginning of a series of storytelling CDs from âThe Order of NZingah Doll Collectionâ⢠The series will only get better with time. Stories/poems on this CD are "Introduction," Brown Baby," "Hazel: The Former Mermaid," "Choir Girls,' "Aunt Cora," and "Charlieveen Ndwke."

The introduction gives a brief history of "The Order of NZingah Doll Collection. "Brown Baby" is a poem about a beautiful African-American baby. "Hazel" is a doll which has the face/body of a fish. It humorous description of my mother's eldest sister, Hazel, who was very colorful (deceased). "Choir Girls" is a poem that accompanies an angel wall hanging. "Aunt Cora," is a fun combination of several elderly women I have known--she's a "hot mess." Finally, "Charlieveen Ndwke" is a tribute to my mother (deceased). These are just a few of the characters in my impending book, "Women of Dignity: The Order of NZingah Doll Collection."
