Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, “The Danger of a Single Story,” TED Talk, 2009.

 

“The single story creates stereotypes and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue but that they are incomplete.  They make one story become the only story.”

“The consequence of a single story is this: it robs people of dignity. It emphasizes how we are different rather than how we are similar.”

“Stories matter.”

–Chimamanda Adichie
