African Storytelling Some Fathers

Well, this clip is more than just beautiful. The video I suggest to watch today, a poem by Ntsiki Mazwai, is simply wonderful.
This great piece of poetry, Fathers, is a powerful song, is a strong storytelling and a fascinating melody all in the same place and time.
Some might say that African voices are all this together too.
Well, in this case they are right.
I liked so much the words of the poem and, as in every great text, there are many ways to read it.
The clever artist spoke about her fathers, but when I think of Africa I feel obliged to see the latter as the father of all.
We are all sons of Africa.
So, this story is for everyone.
From the Youtube Channel description of the project: Africa Story Telling is a way of communication in our culture. This is African Story by Africans. The World has a lot to learn from Africans. WE send our messages through story telling. ENJOY and share.

Sadili Digital Media Storytelling

I agree very much.
Storytelling is this too: a way to share successful stories of personal life from people who had the chance to see grow their talent and this is what Sadili Digital Media Storytelling does.
As the description in the official Youtube Channel says, they offer real stories of young African Talent, who have begun to live their dreams through assistance in education and training by Sadili Oval Sports Academy, in Nairobi, Kenya, and their partners, through the years.
Particularly in countries where, even if talented, you might not have so many occasions to reach your goals.
Like Africa, for example.
With this kind of stories you can inspire people around the world, giving advices and motivation to continue to work.
That is a kind of free gift of words and hope.
Here is a video about Florence Atieno that I liked the most.
