Humans are story-tellers by nature. But when our stories are told from only one perspective we can miss the opportunity to achieve a deeper understanding. Join us as we discuss Chimamanda Adichie’s TED Talk “The Danger of a Single Story” in a #MedHumChat on August 5, 2020 at 9:00 PM EST.
“I’ve always felt that it is impossible to engage properly with a place or a person without engaging with all of the stories of that place and that person. The consequence of the single story is this: It robs people of dignity. It makes our recognition of our equal humanity difficult. It emphasizes how we are different rather than how we are similar.”
