Theme: Prosper.Sapience

The evolution of the hominid species from the primitive habilus to modern-day sapiens took over two million years. Being the most evolved and intelligent species on planet Earth ,are humans worthy of the title Sapiens or the wise ones? Have we really learned it all ? Does the turbulence and unrest that we showcase show otherwise?
As millennials we do not fall short in intelligence but lack the graceful lining of wisdom. Wisdom is the understanding of the self, being in peace with it and smothering the turbulent undercurrent that we all possess deep within ourselves. We are in search of stories and experiences that can enrich every listener out there. Shaping their perspective and incorporating ideas of progress so that through this shared knowledge and wisdom they can play their part in leading humans to prosperity.
