She will take us on a journey of her own experiences, sharing not only “single stories” she had about others, but also stories she found others carried that affected her. After watching the video, we will engage you in a focused conversation about the video and the stories you carry and encounter too. 

Participants will understand and appreciate the danger of having only one perspective and internalizing stereotypes. Understand that power lies in who sets the agenda and who gets to tell the story
