Why We Need Stories More Than Ever

In a world overflowing with noise and uncertainty, stories remain one of our most powerful sources of meaning. They remind us that we are connected — that our joys, fears, losses, and hopes echo across borders and generations.

Stories slow us down. They open windows into lives we’ve never lived, teaching empathy without preaching. They challenge us, comfort us, and remind us that transformation is always possible.

As Moungo River, I see storytelling as both art and responsibility. Every narrative carries pieces of culture, memory, and truth. When we write, we offer others something to hold onto — a path, a mirror, a question, sometimes even a healing.

The world changes, but our need for stories does not. And so we continue to write, one word at a time, like water moving toward the horizon.
