From Spelling Bee to Storytelling: The Evolution of Performance in My Life

Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech?

At the tender age of six, I dazzled the world with my spelling prowess, but who knew spelling would be a skill I’d soon shove into the dusty attic of my mind? Fast forward to my storytelling champion days—yes, I held the storytelling crown. My mom was my biggest fan, enrolling me in contests and turning our living room into my personal stage. And then? The curtain fell, the spotlight dimmed. I traded storytelling for the serious business of career and adulting.

But oh, the twists in the plot! Career demands pushed me back onto the stage, not as an entertainer but as a corporate storyteller. Crafting sob stories, feel-good tales, and data-driven sagas became my art form. My son, following in my supposed creative footsteps, now spins short stories of his own. It’s a family affair of narratives, with a dash of cameo magic in my thoughts. Perhaps I’ll offer my storytelling finesse on Cameo—imagine the allure of a personalized, witty narrative delivered by yours truly. Have you heard of cameo? Look it up.

Life, like a good story, takes unexpected turns. I started with spelling, pivoted to storytelling, and circled back to it in my professional life. Who knew the skills of my youth would come full circle? It’s a tale filled with laughter, a sprinkle of nostalgia, and a generous helping of irreverence—just the way I like it. So, let’s keep the story rolling, one witty cameo at a time.
