National Storytelling Laureate Katrice Horsley talks about her life in order to spark creativity and ambition in youngsters. She tells stories for a living and sends the message to students, "You are your own storyteller!" Katrice explains that, as a child, she chose not to speak because she had problems forming words. As a result, she retreated into a world of imagination - creating internal narratives to help her feel safe. At five years old her stories began tumbling out but it wasn’t until she went to live in Ghana, where she saw communities being educated in real life skills via the medium of storytelling, that her own ‘spark’ moment occurred. Realising that stories are powerful and important tools she returned to the UK, where she has worked in schools and communities sharing illuminating stories ever since.
