In this episode, I talk about what I've learned from this podcast and what's to come. I tell the story of Oya and tie that in with the importance of looking at cultures all around the world for inspiration in your works. I also talk about the way that storytelling has influenced me and how I hope this podcast has influenced others.

Today's quote is from 365 Goddess by Patricia Telesco.

We talk about the necessary components of learning a story and connecting with the lands they come from.

Listen to Helen Nde as she recounts the Mwindo Epic from the Democratic Republic of Congo and the story of how Anansi got stories from Ghana, two stories that demonstrate how African storytelling goes beyond the words. Learn new ways to find stories from across the world and do your own research into less widely known stories. This week's episode stresses the importance of all types of stories, not just the ones we are used to seeing written down on paper.
