Breaking stereotypes and misconceptions
“Stories have been used to dispossess and malign. But stories can also be used to empower and humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a person. But stories can also repair that broken dignity.”
“It is not what you are able to see as a storyteller but what you could make others see with your work.”
