Across the globe—in places large and small, rich and poor, more educated and less—we face monumental challenges. It can seem that we have never been so divided, that our challenges have never been so consequential.
I believe in the power of story to transform us and, therefore, our world. By engaging us in learning our full, authentic history and using lessons from that history to help us meet today’s challenges.
I write towards that end—realizing the power of story.
In this space I will be posting about things large and small that relate to the power of story, whether that be in writing the story, reading the story, or discussing the story.
