Hello Venturer,As a kid, I always looked forward to the next issue of the Supa Strikas comic. My friends and I read every issue we laid our hands-on with wide-eyed focus, never missing any detail. Even the ones who didn't enjoy reading in class loved it. I didn't understand why then, but I do now. Everyone loves stories. That's why we watch movies, read novels, listen to podcasts etc., just because we love stories. It's our nature.Years later, I saw that Supa Strikas evolved into a live animation. I'm not so sure how well it was received, but the reason for doing that is pretty obvious. People still love stories. We only evolve in the ways we want to be told. That's why every media outlet has gone digital today. But that doesn't look like the end.We've been hearing about a "metaverse" for a while now. And whether or not that interests you, it's beginning to look more achievable. But what's interesting right now is that people are already telling stories on the metaverse. By converting their arts to non-fungible tokens (NFTs), African artists and curators are telling the digital world stories of their rich culture and history.Oluwatosin OgunjuyigbeStaff Writer, Ventures Africa
