I speak with Entrepreneur and Philanthropist Mr. Kevaughan Graham this week on Dropping Bars. In this episode, Kavaughan dropped some incredible nuggets of wisdom with us, such as “You cannot do great things with basic people.”
One of my fondest memories growing up was attending the Rainbow City Festival in Grenville. My boys and I would walk around Grenville and stop by all the DJ’s on the street to “shake a leg”. If we were lucky we would get a “jam” from a girl, and we’d keep it moving. My favorite spot was behind Sheila George place in Grenville. I got the most “jam “there and the vibes were always nice.
My name is Kim Thomas. I am Grenadian; I immigrated to Canada 27 years ago to live with my mother. I grew up with my grandmother because my mom had left us with her to come to Canada to work so that we would have a better life. It was a bitter-sweet day when I left Grenada, though excited to see “the big world” as it was commonly referred to, I was very sad to leave my home.
In 2013, I became quite fascinated with Social media and the way businesses were using it to build their brands and get customers. I went all in on learning everything I needed to know about social media and today I am a proud social media strategist. After being in Canada for a little bit, I quickly realized that one of the most significant assets you can have here is “Canadian education” So I decided to pursue my Master’s Degree.
A lot of people who pay attention to me know that I am all about using storytelling as a marketing strategy for achieving business results. Stories are the currencies of conversations, and they appeal to people’s emotions. Therefore, if you want to persuade someone to do something, tell a story. To eradicate any potential confusion however, I am not talking about the fictional tales that start with once upon a time or “crick crack”. Instead, I am referring to the way you shape your narrative to influence and appeal to others.
