Why Telling Your Story Matters

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]T[/eltd_dropcaps]oday is World Storytelling Day. A day that is marked across the globe by people from different cultures, speaking different languages, as they tell each other the stories that matter to them.

Think of it as a global campfire that happens every March equinox.

To me, these personal stories have always been the best kind of tales. Growing up, my Mum would tell me about the places that connected me to my roots; the fauna of Antigua, the people of Liverpool. I used to walk around in an imaginary world, fuelled by the oral stories of my family, often passed down through generations.
