My name is Ann Sayas, and I am from New Orleans. I became aware of Mary Magdalene through fiction in the works of Katherine McGowan and Dan Brown. Kayleen Asbo led me to consider the spiritual message of Mary Magdalene through many Zoom experiences. I became aware of Ella and David's study group through her International Conference on Mary Magdalene. I am excited to probe deeply the Gospel of Mary with fellow participants in this study group.
