hink about storytelling at reunions. Think of all the lives that have been lived by everyone present and encourage them to tell their stories! They’re the history that make up your family or members of your class or military group. Everyone will go away having learned something about the teller and about the group as a whole. Javier Wallace, Master Storyteller and founder of Black Austin Tours, explains why storytelling is important. He has received the highest reviews for “Best storytelling” in Austin, Texas. Reunions are perfect times for storytelling so let Javier tell you why. He starts by suggesting how to tell engaging stories. First, make yourself the main character of your own story! Allow yourself to be vulnerable with your audience, be personal and let your light shine. Find your “Why” and share it with your guests. “Find that thing,” he says, “of who you are and where you come from and go out and find your story.” Learn more about Javier Wallace at www.blackaustintours.com and for Black Austin Tours, contact javier@blackaustintours.com.
