I agree that "The Trouble with a Single Story" is great. I assigned it for my global health (undergrad and masters) students. I think it's relevant not just to writers or readers but to successfully living in a global world--much the same way the Discover article describes. Also, she's a very engaging speaker.
Yes - absolutely, Celeste! I agree that it's relevant "to successfully living in a global world." And I love that you assigned that talk to your students.
Thank you for the recommendation of The Trouble with a Single Story. I haven't seen that TED talk and will be sure to watch.
Stories! I absolutely resonate with this. The importance of stories and also recognizing the stories we are telling, creating our reality. A gift of humanity! (Sometimes a curse? LOL)
Thanks, Lori, for bringing up that other aspect - "recognizing the stories we are telling, creating our reality." That's so important! I sometimes struggle with "Don't make assumptions" from The Four Agreements. Making assumptions is a story we tell ourselves that may not be true at all. I'm trying to be more thoughtful about that. Thanks for the reminder.

Now I'm doubly intrigued to watch!
