HOW I WAS ABLE TO BE A KEYNOTE SPEAKER AT THE YE! SUMMIT 2025

Muwado Ad by Muwado - Africa's Storytelling Platform

When I was growing up, I always had one fear– failing to do something great at a young age.

I always wanted and still want to always be the youngest to do anything. I wanted to be the youngest to write and publish a novel. when i realized someone else already did, I kinda lost the momentum, but guess what? I have a novel draft that I will one day still publish after all.

Now, this is particular thing about me didn’t stop at that. I still went on to explore my other passions. I made a couple of skits, thought I was the youngest to do that and it’s the same story as before. I paused and tried something else. I did Poetry. Poetry for me came at a point when I was discovering myself and trying to understand the world better.

Of course you can guess, it was problem, after problem, after problem.

But I truly appreciate how these tools for me have become a way that I can still allow myself to reconsider doing something great anyway. Even when someone else has done it.

Over the years, I have embraced my gift of storytelling through different mediums, and I have been blessed to cross paths with many celebrated storytellers whose personal stories have empowered me.

Okay, I’ve realized that I’m speaking too much.

Yes, after all that, I am very excited to be a #KeynoteSpeaker at the #Ye! Summit 2025 about Creativity being a superpower. Isn’t it?

Anyway, this is a virtual event Conducted via Zoom.

Attending this will help you understand;

• How storytelling can help better your brand.

• The importance of attaching a story to your brand.

(Okay, I realize they might be the same but it’s good we have two versions. and they both sound great)

It’s happening on #Tuesday, 12th August, 2025 at #4PM EAT
