We All Have a Story to Tell

If a single word could summarize everything Bisila Bokoko conveys it would be 'inspiration'. Her personal story, is one of a racialized woman who has learned how to grow in the face of adversity, and her business, her wisdom, her love of books, and her philanthropic spirit will act as a guide and a path for those who dive into the pages of We All Have a Story to Tell. Discover how to make our dreams come true, how to learn from failure, how to be happy despite the hurdles, what reading can do for us -as the pages of her parent's library did for her, with which she uncovered Africa for the first time- and how to handle our fears. These are the lessons to be learned from the story Bokoko narrates so we can know how to do the same with our own. The United Nations award winning author, founder of the Bisila Bokoko African Literacy Project and owner of a life full of anecdotes and valuable lessons, reveals a vital trajectory that will help us take that step we all need to go further into the story of our lives.
