Sisonke Msimang:If a story moves you, act on it


TEDWomen 2016
Sisonke Msimang:If a story moves you, act on it (script)
Summary
If you are moved by Storytellers, you can do many things that the world would be a better place.
However, if you think that stories can create an illusion of solidarity, or that opponents don't like you, or that you want to invest in only the personal narrative, stories don't necessarily make the world a better place.
It might mean that you don't look at the facts but Storytellers won't expect it.
You can look for social justice beyond the media, storytellers and what you feel.
Having more curiousty, joining, not getting away from the reality, and  Storytellers can help us to dream.
And then the world would be a better place.

Words in this story.
curiousty / noun/  curious / adj/
solidarity /  unanimity, unity, like-mindedness, agreement
catalyst / encouragement, incentive, inspiration, stimulus
orphanage /  nursery school
oppression /  pressure, tyranny, violence
