THE DANGER OF [KNOWING]
A SINGLE STORY
Chimamanda Adichie

"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 a critical misunderstanding."


A born story teller, this Woman.  Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, author of "Americanah"  She explains the danger that all of us of face by only knowing the details of our own tribe  --whether the commonality of our tribe is based on race, class, or nationality-- how that makes everybody else in every other tribe seem flat, lesser, and easier to stereotype.

Learn while being entertained.
