Chapter 4 - Own it

 Each person is carrying a rich personal history.

In Chapter 1, you saw Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's warning about the danger of a single story. Sometimes, people use a single story to define others, but we have many stories. For a simple example, a person can be the daughter of someone and at the same time be a mother of a baby. Daughter and mother are both characteristics that tell us different stories about the same person.

Let's think about the stories that may be part of your life and/ or those who came before you in your family or your community.

Your answers will not be graded, though you are expected to answer the following questions before you can continue writing your story!
