The Danger of a Single Story

My boss sent this talk around and I thought was amazing. As someone who has written and even given a lot of attention to the craft of storytelling.

While it is good to start the idea of storytelling, once we start telling them we have an obligation to tell the entire story with an open heart and a responsible mind.  With great power of storytelling comes great responsibility. 

Chimamanda Adichie's talk has many high points, but one point rang true for me."The single story robs people of dignity ... Stories can break the dignity of people, but they can also repair that dignity."

Well said ... 19 minutes well spent.
