"Stories matter. Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and malign, but stories can also be used to empower and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity... When we reject the single story, when we realize that there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of paradise." Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a writer who started Farafina Trust (now Purple Hibiscus Trust Workshop), a non-profit organization, as a way to promote reading, writing, a culture of social introspection and engagement with society through the literary arts.
