Faghayai Ogoun loves to tell stories, but admits she’s never found true love

I know that I love stories. I love telling them and I love hearing them. As a kid, I was always told stories. Stories of my ancestors were great. I remember asking my mother why people always sang by the riverside. Her answer could have been as simple as, “Oh, it’s because of the ways of the people.” But instead, she told me about the people that lived under water and how they helped the people of the village, but were not appreciated.
