About Teju the Storyteller
Teju comes from a long family tradition of storytellers. His mother and father, his grandmothers, one grandfather-and a great grandfather were storytellers. His stories are drawn from African traditions and African American history and folklore. His high-energy, fast paced and witty performances are spellbinding. These riveting performances always hint at wry humor, revolutionary teachings and lessons in love. in addition to his repertory of original stories and poems, Teju is an accomplished percussionist.
His show-stopping performances have earned him the distinction of being a repeated featured teller at Storytelling Festivals throughout the country. He was the first-place winner of the first National Open-Invitational Tall-Tale Tellers Contest (Liar's Contest) Sponsored by the National Association of Black Storytellers. In 2002 he was the recipient of the most prestigious award in storytelling, the Zora Neale Hurston Award for "contributing to the perpetuation and preservation of African American Folklore.”
