Sometimes my dad sends me funny things and sometimes he sends me weird things, via e-mail. This time, big poppa sent me an e-mail with a link to a video that I think is worth sharing.
It's a video of a novelist who speaks about the power of a single story and how being told that specific story can shape our views on life and different cultures. Of course the plus side is she is also a Naija (Nigerian) like myself. I believe in diversity, as proved by this somewhat controversial article I wrote this semester about the judge who denied an interracial couple a marriage license--jerk--and I think what she speaks about somewhat feeds my article's case for diversity and less cultural ignorance.
