📚✨ What makes a Cultural Storyteller? Here are three defining traits that bring Virgin Islands narratives to life:

1. Keeper of Traditions: Cultural storytellers preserve and share the rich heritage of the Virgin Islands. They keep our history alive by passing down folk tales, legends, and cultural traditions, ensuring that future generations remain connected to their roots.
2. Voice of the People: These storytellers give voice to the unique experiences and perspectives of our community. By highlighting personal stories and local narratives, they foster a deeper understanding of the diverse cultures and challenges within the Virgin Islands.
3. Catalyst for Change: Through their stories, cultural storytellers inspire dialogue and reflection, prompting audiences to consider creative solutions for a better future. Their tales spark conversations that explore cultural trends and social issues, encouraging collective action and positive change.

Join us at ‘Cocktails & Conversations’ on August 21st to experience the power of storytelling firsthand. Come for the stories, stay for the inspiration. 🍹🌟
