Storytelling

We humans love stories. We read them, watch them, listen to them, play them in computer games, tell them about our lives. It is one of the ways we make sense of the world.

Oral storytelling was how our species first enjoyed stories. I perform traditional oral stories from the African continent and diaspora. These stories are hundreds, if not thousands, of years old – their wisdom is profound, and they are still totally relevant to our modern lives.

Adults often assume storytelling is for children. They are surprised by how moved they are – to both laughter and tears – by the stories I tell.
