I have never feared public speaking. I like to talk, and you get to do it "in character" as Rosa Parks. Don't worry what people will think of you, just imagine you ARE her, and speak bravely, as she did! And if it helps, or if you are at ALL nervous, do NOT look into the faces of the audience. Instead, look at the wall behind them, or at the exit sign at the back.

Remember, it's not YOU up there talking about yourself, it's Rosa!
