The Danger of a Single Story by Chimamanda Adichie

In the wake of much conversation regarding Uganda, it's people, wars, and brokenness, I have found this 2009 TED speech by Chimamanda Adichie to eloquently speak much wisdom to issues raised. 
There is always more to learn. Always more to hear. 
Listen.

It's times like these that I wish blogs had a "like" button! :)

Amazing! I am embarrassed that, I too, had misconceptions and a "single story" about Africa! Thank you for this clip. Everyone should see it!

Cheryl, your mom here! I can't remember my Google password and they won't let me register again so I'll just be "Anonymous" on here until I figure something out. :-) Thank you for posting this! I wanted to post something on Facebook when that Kony 2012 video started circulating but wasn't sure exactly what approach to take. This is perfect! So I posted this link. I hope that's ok with you.....Thanks again for sharing this.
