script writing of say no to the single story

Read together in the Treetops cafe- Tuesday October 14, 9-11am. Bring your book, grab a chai, find a cozy nook, and catch up on your reading alongside fellow book club members.

Guided Discussion, Saturday October 18, 10-11:30am.

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.

We meet once per quarter at The 906 to discuss the book selected together by Treetops staff and Book Club members.
