Storytelling is how we survive, the story feeds something. It feeds the spirit, the imagination. I can't imagine life without stories, stories from my parents, my culture. Stories from other people's parents and their culture. That's how we learn from each other, it's the best way. That's why literature is so important, it connects us heart to heart.

 // If there is a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.&quot //- Toni Morrison
