Hello,

My name is Eunice, I am a multimedia storyteller and love to find and tell stories. For the next 40 minutes or so I want to talk about the art of #Storytelling

It's an art.

That requires creativity, vision, skill, and practice.

And the five questions you need to ask to become a better storyteller. Listen in!
