    What’s Your Story

    Written by Endurance NWeke THE CURATOR OF COOL

    So much of who we are can be told in our life story-our ongoing personal narrative filled with hurdling mountaintops; choosing the correct path when faced with insurmountable forks in the road. It’s in this journey where we continue to learn about who we are, what we’re capable of, and the talents we possess.
