Susan "Supe" O'Halloran is an author and performer specializing in original fables and personal stories with social justice themes. She weaves stories into her diversity seminars and couples appreciation workshops.

Susan grew up in a working class neighborhood on the Southwest side of Chicago during the 1950s and 60s on the white side of Chicago's color line. In high school, she became part of an interracial youth group. The very different, and, sometimes, opposite stories she heard on the other side of the dividing line prompted her to find a way of bringing the stories and her experiences together. It has been her life's work ever since.

Susan is a diversity consultant with the Chicago-based Kaleidoscope Group serving Fortune 500 companies across the nation. She also teaches diversity workshops and provides curriculum for Chicago Archdiocesan schools.
