What Stories are We Sharing?

 I recently was asked to listen to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie as she shared the danger of a single story in a TED talk. As I listened to her speak I began to question stories shared within our homes and schools. I observed stories shared at circle time within classrooms, I scanned the libraries in our community and the books on the shelves in my own house. 

I realized that we, as in every person alive, have a lot of work to do in sharing the stories of others. Not only in the books we have in our hands but the stories we share verbally in our communities and the discussions that take place in and out of our schools.
