I really enjoyed "The Danger of a single story" by Chimamanda Adichie. This speech described the distorted perceptions Americans sometimes have about people from foreign backgrounds based on single stories. This is an issue to Chimamanada and she makes her point clear. Single stories generalize certain cultures, countries and even whole continents into a single image or stereotype without recognizing that they are composed of millions of individual unique stories.
This speech means a lot to me because I can relate to being prejudged by a “single story” of my culture. I am considered apart of the minority group in the United States. I am a Black American woman. Furthermore I can be been considered Caribbean American, as my parents are both
