“Stories matter. Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign. But stories can also be used to empower, and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people. But stories can also repair that broken dignity…when we realize that there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of paradise.”
from Nigerian novelist, Chimamanda Adichie: The danger of a single story ( video below)
