I Was Born To Be A Storyteller

I was born to be a storyteller. I didn’t realize that it was in my blood until I realized that my ancestors were lynched and killed for learning how to read or write.  I didn’t realize that I was born to be a storyteller until I realized that my mother and my father struggled and fought to ensure that I graduated from high school, college and graduate school. I didn’t realize that I was born to be a storyteller until I started telling stories that made a difference in the lives of others. I didn’t realize that I was born to be a storyteller until I started telling stories that made people feel good about where they are, and better about where they are going. I was born to be a storyteller. Ask my ancestors. #myblackhistory
