"A musical about ice cream based on true events and packed with iconic Italian folk tunes we all recognize — can it get sweeter than that?" — Ludwig Van Toronto

Speaking Engagements
Loredana brings energy, humour, and genuine heart to every room she walks into. She speaks to students on creativity, resilience, and the courage to be exactly who they are — and to secondary students directly on confidence and identity. For adult and women’s audiences, her talks span reinvention, imposter syndrome, managing the work-life imbalance, and reconnecting with the kid inside.
She has partnered to create events with the National Ballet School of Canada, Girl Guides of Canada, and StepStones for Youth; spoken at Women in STEM and Ontario Institute for Studies in Education; and served as panelist, and jury member at several conferences along with moderating discussions on entertainment and culture including in Opus Chamber Music and Kidscreen Summit.
Children's Books
Loredana writes stories about resilience, belonging, and the courage to be exactly who you are. From a karate-chopping kakapo to a flamingo who bombs the Chicken Dance Contest, every book is drawn from real life — and every one leaves kids with something to feel, think about, and try.
Her titles include a Junior Library Guild Gold Recipient, multiple Forest of Reading nominees, a World Cookbook Award winner, and a book about how dancing can help you find confidence, now adopted into every TCDSB elementary school.
