Part 1: Storytelling Blog Post

1. Watch the following two videos:

a. "The Power of Vulnerability" TED Talk by Brene Brown

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCvmsMzIF70

b. "The Danger of a Single Story" TED Talk by Chimamanda

Adichie.

https://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda_adichie_the_danger_of_a_single_story

You will then write a 500 word minimum "blog" style post answering

the following questions (pictures may be included in this blog post - be

creative!):

Have you ever been "single storied" by another person? How did that

feel? How did you respond? Think about a time where you realized that

you only knew a single story about another culture. How did you come

to this realization? How did you (or might you) develop a more

complex concept of that culture?

How does a "single story" make vulnerability challenging or

easy? Think about and describe what similarities and differences

you hear in the two videos regarding stories (listening vs.

sharing, the significance of storytelling, etc.)
