I am Anthony Azekwoh, a contemporary artist and author based in Lagos, Nigeria.

Storytelling is about connecting to people. It's about being able to inform and entertain while showing people that there is a world bigger than what they are used to.

In this Hack, I explain how I've cultivated my storytelling craft.
