The power of telling our own stories | Lala Akindoju | TEDxYaba

Chinua Achebe described the story as society’s escort, without which everyone is lost. In this talk, Lala Akindoju explains the importance of telling our stories today to serve as a guide for the future. “Why do I need to make the same mistakes when there are people who have gone before me that I can learn from?” she asks. But importantly, how do Nigerians leverage the tools of today to document the day’s stories for the benefit of the future? She adds, noting that more can be done today seeing the diverse opportunities that abound for story-telling. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
