Story of Community

“Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign. But stories can also be used to empower, and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people. But stories can also repair that broken dignity.” ~Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
How has my community impacted the person I am? What values have I gained from my community? What is special about my community? The “story of community” tells the values and experiences that a community shares and how they have affected its members. Sharing the “story of community” allows others to learn about other communities and what makes them unique. The “story of community” celebrates what we cherish in our communities, what makes them special, and what makes us proud to be a part of them.
