Chain of Narration: Preserving Oral Histories On The Blockchain

I will talk about the value proposition of Web3 in preserving at-risk stories in West Africa, specifically and more broadly around the world. Web3 Tools I will focus on: DStorage, Metadata, NFTs. I'll share the story of how I've leveraged Web3 thus far in my journey and show some of that journey in short video format. I will highlight some anthropological discoveries I made along the way, emphasizing the song that has inspired me to go to Brazil in pursuit of a thread of music I found in Sierra Leone. I will also speak to the correlations between oral histories and the blockchain itself as a means to store and transfer information safely and reliably and share some of the moments that anchored this realization for me.
