 As proprietor and founder of Academia Creative Arts Academy (ACAA) she wrote, produced, and directed  five children plays  entitled, "New Orleans Secondline City" (1995), "Between Me You And The Gate Post" (1996), and "Anything Happens In Church" (1997). She later wrote two new plays "Santa Where Ya'At" (1998) and  "The Grumpy Christmas" (2002)  while working as Educational Director of the Daughters of Charity Vincentian Ministries After School Arts Program in New Orleans.   Some of the songs included in these works are  the same as the titles. However, there were songs such as  "New Orleans Secondline City", " Jazz Whose Playing That Song", "Between Me You And The Gate Post", " Jesus Is Right On Time", "Down, Down", "Goody, Goody", "I Wonder", "Santa Where Ya'At", "Her Knees Began To Shake" and more. 

She again took to the stage on the poetry circuit as one of New Orleans primeire poets in the late 80s.  Morton began performing at venues such as coffee houses, festivals, universities, churches, galleries, youth groups, conferences, conventions, parties and more.   Some of the venues include Centennial Celebration 2002 The [Negro] Young Peoples Christian & Educational Congress of 1902 where she not only acted as a poet and Mistress of Ceremonies, but she also designed a flag for its Convention.

Mortons writing began while attending Paul L. Dunbar Elementary School.  There she was taught the pen was mightier than the sword by her Sixth Grade teacher Mrs. Louise Ward Jackson and it stuck with her.  It is  evident in the book "Must I Justify My Blackness!"  It is a compilation of works written during encounters and observations in her life as an African- American woman in today's society.  Morton has worn many hats. Her greatest is to follow her call while performing as a voice.  In her quiet time she reads, writes, paints, and works on new  inventions she is creating.
