In her TED Talk “THe danger of a single story,” Chimamanda Ngoyi Adichie reminds us why it is so important to read widely in order to gain a greater understanding of cultures outside of our own. This week Nicole discusses this topic, the implications it has for our time, and our consequential responsibilities as writers to write more, read more, and share more diverse stories.
