There's a story about the Safe Bus Company that's worth telling. It's not just because they were Black-owned and operated in the 1960s, though that's impressive enough.
The Safe Bus Company had very little power in a world that didn't want them to succeed. But they told their story anyway.
Their legacy is more than just a history lesson. It's a masterclass in resilience and self-determination. They could have given up when the going got tough. When the buses broke down, when the money ran out, when the world seemed against them. But they didn't. They kept going. They kept telling their story.
And that's what we should all do. We should all tell our stories. Our unique stories. The ones that only we can tell. Because those are the stories that matter. Those are the stories that change the world.
So let's learn from the Safe Bus Company. Let's learn how to tell our stories well. How to keep going when the going gets tough. How to inspire others with our resilience and self-determination. Because that's what storytelling is all about. It's not just about telling a good story. It's about changing the world.
