Noreen Asekenye, a Ugandan social entrepreneur changing lives through storytelling  — Lionesses of Africa

What inspired you to start your company?

Coming from an African society, I wanted to connect more to the earliest form of communication, which was through stories, I believe so much in the power of a story to turn bad into good and good into better. I was also very interested in knowing how people’s days went and the good work they were doing for humanity. I was surrounded by people who were contributing to their societies positively but no one knew them or even their work – I too was among them. So I thought to myself, why not create a platform to celebrate these people, their inspiration, work, passions, lessons and every single milestone they have made.

Why should anyone use your service or product?

Tell a Story is for everyone and not just a specific group of people. Its roots are from the oldest form of communication which is story telling. We share authentic stories told by real people to teach humanity how to connect, care, empathize and love more.
