In this episode of Rethink, we explore how the stories we believe — and those we inherit — shape our perceptions, behaviors, and relationships. Inspired by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s powerful concept of “The Danger of a Single Story,” the episode examines how narratives and labels can both illuminate and limit our understanding of people, cultures, and global issues.
Through compelling real-life examples and expert reflections, we unpack the risks of oversimplified narratives and challenge listeners to rethink the stories that define their worldview. This is an invitation to move beyond stereotypes and embrace the rich complexity of our shared human experience.
🧠 Tune in, question the stories you know, and discover the power of seeing — and telling — more than one story.
