Advice from STORYHIVE alumni from The Next 10: Content Creator Chat

Back in June, we kicked off the celebrations for TELUS STORYHIVE’s 10 year anniversary, celebrating a decade of local storytelling. The birthday festivities haven’t stopped yet! 

One of our most connecting events was our Content Creator Chat, The Next 10: Celebrating 10 Years of TELUS STORYHIVE featuring a handful of content creators, from a variety of programs such as the Black Creators Edition and Indigenous Creators Edition, Summer Crew and Voices programs. 

Here were some of their most inspiring insights from the event!

“Create daily, even if it’s just for a moment.” — Michelle Ikwumonu, Indigenous Storyteller Edition and Community Stories

“You are capable of so much more than you think you are [...] find your community, create together, and have fun.” — Allyson Leet, Voices

“Part of the creative process is also resting.” — Leslie Bangamba, Black Creators Edition

“Ultimately, everyone just wants to see you succeed.” — Keil Hunka, Summer Crew

“I’m so excited for all the stories that are going to be told.” — Shaelyn Johnston, Indigenous Storyteller Edition

“Document the process for yourself so you have something to look back on.” — Mitchell George, Voices
