Until the lion learns how to write, every story will glorify the hunter - African proverb In today's world, storytelling holds immense power in shaping public opinion and influencing the masses. The African proverb is a profound statement which highlights the importance of diverse perspectives and the need for underrepresented voices to be heard. Far too often, the narratives that dominate our society are told from the viewpoint of those in positions of power, while the experiences and struggles of the marginalized remain unheard. It is crucial that we actively seek out and amplify the stories of those who have been silenced, ensuring that their truths are not overshadowed by the tales of the privileged. By embracing a multitude of voices and perspectives, we can paint a more comprehensive and accurate picture of the world we live in. It is only through this inclusive approach to storytelling that we can foster empathy, understanding, and positive change. Let us strive to create a platform where the lions can share their stories, and the hunters are no longer the sole authors of our collective narrative. Thoughts?
