“Whether they are statements of historical fact or molded from our wildest imaginations, the stories we tell ourselves about who we have been, who we are, and who we could be, have the power to determine who we actually become. This is the power of storytelling, a power born on the African continent with the first humans who stood up straight and contemplated the world above, below and around them. A power which spread across the world with human migrations as myths, folklore, and history. A power which continues to shape the human experience. A power which can be harnessed for the highest good or the lowest evil. A power which can make civilizations or break them. A power which we all wield today as creators and consumers of media
