Replacing bias with truth
The stories we hear and tell are powerful. In this video, Alina Luna describes one way to combat bias: by replacing false narratives with true ones.
Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice — and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding.

Where can you get narratives? First, ask your team, ask your colleagues, ask your clients and members of the public.
Also, ask CARE. We are dedicated to collecting narratives of marginalized communities, because their stories are not being told, and not being heard.
