One of the most important differences between Homo sapiens and animals is that we have the capability to tell and believe in fictional stories, which enable us to collaborate on a very large scale. Believing in the story of the dollar is an example of this.
The media uses storytelling to make us believe certain things – true or false, it’s doesn’t always matter. Films and books have throughout history been guilty of normalizing inappropriate behaviors and generating false stereotypes. Many false stories have been told about women and their capabilities. And many true stories of their accomplishments have deliberately and systematically been ignored and forgotten.
This is a series of video interviews (later turned into a podcast) I created showcasing inspiring women from around the world who have overcome great obstacles in their life and who are fighting for a change of the narrative.
