" "The art of telling a good story is a challenge to be overcome. What more than having the right audience to share it? As a Millennium Fellow, I am thrilled to meet a massive number of my peers who are ready to listen to my story. At the same time earning a living from it to sustain life and inevitably share with them this dream of storytelling. Youths are the steel to the rail of change, without them, there is no speed to the bow." "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Writing To Earning
Storytelling and writing are all intertwined with the creativity of an individual. In my project, we shall help struggling campus students earn a living. It will be by introducing them to freelance writing and coaching them on the pro tips to ensure they land top dollar clients on the different freelancing websites while also learning more about the different writing there is.
