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.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a Nigerian author who is known for many concepts, one being the danger of a single story. She explains the danger of single story in her TEDTalk linked within this post. Essentially the danger of a single story is about how misconceptions we form about certain cultures or groups people can be due to only hearing one story and no others to form deeper and more rounded understandings.
