"Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice -- and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk critical misunderstanding." source
"The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story." - Chimamanda Adichie
So happy I stumbled across this talk. Chimamanda Adichie is one wise and insightful woman! I encourage you to take a listen. It's 20 minutes of honesty and pure enlightenment. It will most definitely enrich your perspective on the world.
