Say no to the single story

The guiding theme for the Treetops Book Club is "Say No to the Single Story," based on the TED Talk "The Danger of the Single Story" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. In her talk, she discusses the problem of reducing complex individuals and situations to a single narrative.
⁠
⁠Our goal for the Treetops Book Club is to dismiss narrow preconceptions we may hold about certain groups, cultures, and ideas, and to broaden our understanding by learning through specific stories from authentic, unique, multifaceted individuals. The book club selections and discussions will center around this theme, and through meaningful dialogue within our own community, we will restore humanity to those we may have stolen it from by oversimplifying them with a single story.
