Lynda Nwaizu - Copywriter
My father introduced me to stories
Hi. My favourite childhood memory is listening to my father’s folktale stories. His stories brought me comfort and to this day, I am always in search of a good story to comfort me.
Tell me your story
When I meet someone, I want to know your story. Are you the hero or villain of your story? Tell me the sum of events that have brought you to where you are.
Let me tell you something about stories
Stories are powerful. You may forget everything else but you'll never forget a story you've heard before and good stories make people take action. And that's why as a creative, I use stories to my advantage.
Changing the world, one story at a time
My ultimate dream is to help build a world where minority groups are accepted and happy. To achieve this, society has to be reoriented to think differently and this can be achieved through stories.
