“It is impossible to talk about the single story without talking about power.
There is a word, an Igbo word, that I think about whenever I think about the power structures of the world, and it is “nkali.”
It’s a noun that loosely translates to “to be greater than another.”
Like our economic and political worlds, stories too are defined by the principle of nkali: How they are told, who tells them, when they’re told, how many stories are told, are really dependent on power. Power is the ability not just to tell the story of another person, but to make it the definitive story of that person.”

WWN Reflection by @JulietKego: Question – WHAT exactly are you selling and WHO are you selling it to? One of the most important lessons I was taught a few years ago in my MBA class is the ‘Reason behind the reason.’
That is why are people/companies REALLY in business? If you understand your big WHY, it drives your priorities, strategies, plans and success.
