Great people are regarded as great because their stories are told. The written form of communicating and transferring the waves from a triumphant boat to the shores of another generation has been with us since the dawn of civilization and it will continue to be the dominant form of preserving history and conduit of the inspiration electricity that will power others and spring them on board.
The most important messages that have shaped history and influenced cultures were passed through books. The bible, the koran, and other religious books conveying messages and doctrines have one thing in common—a comprehensive package of written texts. Some say the invention of videos and audio has blurred the lines and that written messages aren’t as sacrosanct as they were in the past. But what makes a powerful story inspirational is the construct and comprehensiveness of a structure that can only be delivered through texts.
‘Legend has it’ has been associated with the stories of many great Black Africans because we were late or abandoned the employment of writing in passing down messages. History is made true if there are written testaments from the era.
Your story will not only inspire the people of this era and lifetime but because it will be in a comprehensive form, generations to come will use your book as a reference to depict the civilization of the time.
Telling a written portrait that chronicles your most important experiences will serve as a powerful reservoir of inspiration where knowledge can be fetched. That is the LuxAfro goal.
