Join us for our General Body Meeting May 1st at 12pm EDT, where we will discuss the Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie TED Talk, "The Danger of a Single Story".

How did the talk make you reflect on your own story?

What are some common single stories you’ve encountered about your identity or community?

During your time at Hope, did you ever feel reduced to a “single story”? What did that look like?

How did attending a predominantly white institution shape the stories others told about you - or that you told about yourself?

Have you ever found yourself believing or internalizing a “single story” about your own group or another group?
