(Adult) Phyllis Biffle Elmore is a retired veteran of the US Air Force and Army, whose civilian career has included working as a counselor for incarcerated youth, survivors of domestic violence, and people suffering from alcohol and substance abuse. She has traveled extensively, telling the history of her grandmother’s quilts and their historical significance in her memoir, Quilt of Souls, which paints portraits of extraordinary black women born before and after the Civil War – enslaved people, laundresses, storytellers, healers, and quilters – whose stories have gone untold until now.
