A Blaze of Story – Ancestors, Featuring Mbonisi Zikhali Zomkhonto

Join poet/storyteller Mbonisi Zikhali Zomkhonto and City of Windsor Multicultural Storyteller Teajai Travis for a Blaze of Story – Ancestors. His spoken word/storytelling name is Zomkhonto which happens to be his bloodline’s totem. Zomkhonto is a trained journalist, youth mentor, qualified Community Services Worker, grassroots community organizer, and mental wellness advocate. He considers himself an afro-empath. Mbonisi is driven to ensure that people find joy in the power of words and storytelling. This is the first in a series of ancestral storytelling events presented by Sacred Story Studio: a multimedia platform dedicated to the promotion, exhibition, and preservation of storytelling. Seating is limited and there are no reservations so arrive early to claim your seat! Pay what you can. Note that there is an open call for submissions: if you would like to be featured at a future event, send a brief synopsis of your ancestral story(ies) to sacredstorystudio@gmail.com.
