Once Upon a Story
The Why, What, and How of Storytelling Stories have been told since time immemorial, and are necessary for our survival. It is probably the oldest form of communication, used much before the written word was introduced. Our ancestors told stories to pass on wisdom, learning, values, beliefs, traditions and culture to the next generation and they in turn passed it on to the following generation. We are storytellers at our core and in the very depths of our being. It is ingrained in each one of us.

They believed that I would never continue my education, that my job prospects had minimised and that my life was over.
