October 28th is Aesop Day!!!

October 28th is Aesop Day!!!

His fables and stories were some of my favorites when I was younger and I huge inspiration and boost of confidence to me.  I am sooo happy and glad to finally find out the true origin of his history and be able to spread it as well. "Aesop, an ancient and famous Black storyteller, was born on this day around 620 BC. Aesop is known for his stories, which are called "Aesop's Fables," which have become a blanket term for collections of brief fables, usually involving anthropomorphic animals. Aesop was a Black slave of Iadmon,located in the south of Greece near northern Africa. Most accounts describe Aesop as a deformed man whose name came from the Greek word Aethiops which means Ethiopia." Thank you Mr. Aesop for all of your contributions and inspiration!
