My mission as a writer is to save the world.
My mission as a writer is to save the world with stories, because I believe that stories are the only thing that can.
From a young age, our aspirations to be a hero, to save others, to built cities, build empires, to help those in need, to be strong and kind, to empathize, come largely from the stories that we are told when we are growing up, and hear over and over again; which is why it is so important to be told good stories.
Our myths, fairytales and legends carry humanity's values, dreams and cultural heritage. They are the culmination of our collective experience, wisdom, creativity, and resilience, and so, when our stories get lost, so do we, to an extent.
I have always been passionate about classic tales, because they are so current in every way that counts. Within them lies the essence of human hope, challenge, strength and imagination.
Always and everywhere, people are people. The fight for light over darkness is ancient and universal, and so, the same stories, with different names and different scenery are told and retold again and again. Familiar dreams, desires, struggles and circumstances elevate heroes, produce villains, and connect us all. Through them we remember our limitless abilities, our duties to one another, and all that truly matters.
Stories are powerful, which is why every culture has them and cherishes them. They have the ability to unite us across cultures, generations, and geographical boundaries. Within them, our humanity is embedded, preserved conveyed, and passed on.
In an era where technology and innovation are rapidly transforming society, I believe that humanity’s oldest stories are the most relevant and relatable.They have endured because they make universal and eternal sense of our world. They ground and connect us to what is at our core, while reminding us that there is nothing that we cannot achieve.
