"The danger of a single story" has always been one of my favorite TED talks because of the inspirational message and the open-mindedness of the speaker. Her story reminds me to look at things from multiple perspectives and never close off my mind to others. After watching this, it is impossible not to fall in love with the compellingness of her presentation.
