don’t remember you, do you remember me”? How
could we remember one another? Our identity has
been removed with the precision of a skilled
surgeon. “I will go back to the places where
African Kings and Queens Menes, Hapshepsut,
Mansa Musa, Sundiata, Nzinga, Ya-santewa ruled and I’ll clam back my heritage”.

The Art of Storytelling
This Lecture/Seminar is designed to stimulate the
artistic storyteller in all of us. From ancient times
till the present the enchantment of storytelling
has always been a part of human cultures. African
storytelling is believed to be the oldest in the
world and its legacy still lives on today. In an
effort to give children an opportunity to expand
their horizons we have created ways to couple arts
and education. People learn quicker and retain
longer when the information given to them is
entertaining and engaging. By using storytelling,
people are drawn in and before they know it they
have been exposed to and become part of history,
math, biology, psychology and the list goes on. The
Arts are a necessary tool used to educate,
motivate, and stimulate.
