Stories have a unique way of shaping us. They teach us, guide us, and sometimes even heal us. But most importantly, stories connect us—bridging gaps between generations, experiences, and perspectives.
When I think about the transformative power of storytelling, I can’t help but reflect on my grandmother. She was my first and most profound teacher, and her classroom was filled with stories.
Every lesson of love, leadership, and faith she wanted me to learn was intricately woven into a story. She didn’t just tell me about the importance of compassion—she painted vivid pictures of it through the lives of others. She didn’t just share biblical principles—she brought them to life with tales that made me see myself within them.
And here’s the beautiful part: those stories have never left me. They are still with me today, serving as guideposts in my life, both personally and professionally.
