So earlier this year,

1616
ื•ื‘ื›ืŸ, ืžื•ืงื“ื ื™ื•ืชืจ ื”ืฉื ื”
00:14
I was informed that I would be doing a TED Talk.

ื”ื•ื“ื™ืขื• ืœื™ ืฉืืจืฆื” ื‘ TED.
00:18
So I was excited, then I panicked,
3
18240
1976
ืื– ื”ืชืจื’ืฉืชื™, ื•ืื– ื ืœื—ืฆืชื™
00:20
then I was excited, then I panicked,
4
20240
2016
ื•ืื– ื”ืชืจื’ืฉืชื™, ื•ืื– ืฉื•ื‘ ื ืœื—ืฆืชื™
00:22
and in between the excitement and the panicking,
5
22280
2536
ื•ื‘ื™ืŸ ื”ื”ืชืจื’ืฉื•ืช ืœืœื—ืฅ
00:24
I started to do my research,
6
24840
2296
ื”ืชื—ืœืชื™ ืืช ื”ืžื—ืงืจ ืฉืœื™
ื•ื‘ืจื•ื‘ื•, ื”ืžื—ืงืจ ืฉืœื™ ื›ืœืœ ื—ื™ืคื•ืฉื™ื ื‘ื’ื•ื’ืœ ืื™ืš ืœืชืช ื”ืจืฆืื” ืžืขื•ืœื” ื‘TED
00:27
and my research primarily consisted of Googling how to give a great TED Talk.
7
27160
4456
00:31
(Laughter)
8
31640
1216
(ืฆื—ื•ืง)
00:32
And interspersed with that,
9
32880
1656
ื•ืžื“ื™ ืคืขื, ื‘ื™ืŸ ื”ื—ื™ืคื•ืฉื™ื
00:34
I was Googling Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
10

2696
ื—ื™ืคืฉืชื™ ื‘ื’ื•ื’ืœ ืฆ'ื™ืžืžื ื“ื” ื ื’ื•ื–ื™ ืื“ื™ืฆื™'

How many of you know who that is?
11
37280
1616
ื›ืžื” ืžื›ื ื™ื•ื“ืขื™ื ืžื™ ื–ื”?
00:38
(Cheers)
12
38920
2776
(ืžื—ื™ืื•ืช ื›ืคื™ื™ื)
00:41
So I was Googling her because I always Google her
13
41720
2335
ืื– ื—ื™ืคืฉืชื™ ืื•ืชื” ื‘ื’ื•ื’ืœ ื›ื™ ืื ื™ ืชืžื™ื“ ืžื—ืคืฉืช ืื•ืชื” ื‘ื’ื•ื’ืœ
ื›ื™ ืื ื™ ืคืฉื•ื˜ ืžืขืจื™ืฆื”,
00:44
because I'm just a fan,
14
44080
1256
00:45
but also because she always has important and interesting things to say.
15
45360
3616
ืื‘ืœ ื’ื ืžืฉื•ื ืฉืชืžื™ื“ ื™ืฉ ืœื” ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ื—ืฉื•ื‘ื™ื ื•ืžืขื ื™ื™ื ื™ื ืœื”ื’ื™ื“
ื•ื”ืฉื™ืœื•ื‘ ืฉืœ ื”ื—ื™ืคื•ืฉื™ื ื”ืœืœื•
00:49
And the combination of those searches
16
49000
3456
00:52
kept leading me to her talk
17
52480
2616
ื”ื‘ื™ื ืื•ืชื™ ืฉื•ื‘ ื•ืฉื•ื‘ ืืœ ื”ื”ืจืฆืื” ืฉืœื”
ืขืœ ื”ืกื›ื ื•ืช ืฉืœ ืกื™ืคื•ืจ ื™ื—ื™ื“,
00:55
on the dangers of a single story,
18
55120
3176
00:58
on what happens when we have a solitary lens
19
58320
3376
ืขืœ ืžื” ืงื•ืจื” ื›ืืฉืจ ื™ืฉ ืœื ื• ืขื“ืฉื” ื™ื—ื™ื“ื”
01:01
through which to understand certain groups of people,
20
61720
2496
ืฉื“ืจื›ื” ืื ื• ืžื‘ื™ื ื™ื ืงื‘ื•ืฆื•ืช ืžืกื•ื™ื™ืžื•ืช ืฉืœ ืื ืฉื™ื,
01:04
and it is the perfect talk.
21
64240
1960
ื•ื–ื• ื”ื”ืจืฆืื” ื”ืžื•ืฉืœืžืช.
01:07
It's the talk that I would have given if I had been famous first.
22
67720
4336
ื–ื• ื”ื”ืจืฆืื” ืฉื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ื ื•ืชื ืช ืื ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ืžืคื•ืจืกืžืช ืœืคื ื™ื”.
(ืฆื—ื•ืง)
01:12
(Laughter)
23
72080
2176
01:14
You know, and you know, like, she's African and I'm African,
24
74280
3376
ืืชื ื™ื•ื“ืขื™ื, ื›ืื™ืœื•, ื”ื™ื ืืคืจื™ืงืื™ืช ื•ืื ื™ ืืคืจื™ืงืื™ืช,
01:17
and she's a feminist and I'm a feminist,
25
77680
1936
ื•ื”ื™ื ืคืžื™ื ื™ืกื˜ื™ืช ื•ืื ื™ ืคืžื™ื ื™ืกื˜ื™ืช,
01:19
and she's a storyteller and I'm a storyteller,
26
79640
2176
ื•ื”ื™ื ืžืกืคืจืช ืกื™ืคื•ืจื™ื ื•ืื ื™ ืžืกืคืจืช ืกื™ืคื•ืจื™ื,
01:21
so I really felt like it's my talk.
27
81840
1816
ืื– ืžืžืฉ ื”ืจื’ืฉืชื™ ืฉื–ื• ื”ื”ืจืฆืื” ืฉืœื™.
01:23
(Laughter)
28
83680
2736
(ืฆื—ื•ืง)
01:26
So I decided that I was going to learn how to code,
29
86440
3296
ืื– ื”ื—ืœื˜ืชื™ ืฉืื ื™ ื”ื•ืœื›ืช ืœืœืžื•ื“ ืื™ืš ืœืงื•ื“ื“,
01:29
and then I was going to hack the internet
30
89760
2016
ื•ืื– ืื ื™ ืืคืจื•ืฅ ืืช ื”ืื™ื ื˜ืจื ื˜
01:31
and I would take down all the copies of that talk that existed,
31
91800
3736
ื•ืื ื™ ืืžื—ื•ืง ืืช ื›ืœ ื”ืขื•ืชืงื™ื ื”ืงื™ื™ืžื™ื ืฉืœ ื”ื”ืจืฆืื” ื”ื–ื•,
01:35
and then I would memorize it,
32
95560
1416
ืื ื™ ืืœืžื“ ืื•ืชื” ื‘ืขืœ ืคื”,
ื•ืื– ืื ื™ ืื‘ื•ื ืœื›ืืŸ ื•ืื’ื™ืฉ ืื•ืชื” ื›ืื™ืœื• ื”ื™ืชื” ื”ื”ืจืฆืื” ืฉืœื™.
01:37
and then I would come here and deliver it as if it was my own speech.
33
97000
3256
01:40
So that plan was going really well, except the coding part,
34
100280
3176
ืื– ื”ืชื›ื ื™ืช ื”ื–ื• ื”ืชืงื“ืžื” ืžืฆื•ื™ื™ืŸ ื—ื•ืฅ ืžื”ื—ืœืง ืฉืœ ื”ืงื™ื“ื•ื“,
01:43
and then one morning a few months ago,
35
103480
3896
ื•ืื–, ื‘ื•ืงืจ ืื—ื“, ืœืคื ื™ ื›ืžื” ื—ื•ื“ืฉื™ื,
01:47
I woke up
36
107400
1576
ื”ืชืขื•ืจืจืชื™
ืœื—ื“ืฉื•ืช ืฉืืฉืชื• ืฉืœ ืžืชืžื•ื“ื“ ืื—ื“ ืœื ืฉื™ืื•ืช
01:49
to the news that the wife of a certain presidential candidate
37
109000
5456
01:54
had given a speech that --
38
114480
2976
ื ืชื ื” ื ืื•ื ืฉ...
01:57
(Laughter)
39
117480
1936
(ืฆื—ื•ืง)
01:59
(Applause)
40
119440
2560
(ืžื—ื™ืื•ืช ื›ืคื™ื™ื)
02:04
that sounded eerily like a speech given by one of my other faves,
41
124960
4616
ืฉื ืฉืžืข ื“ื•ืžื” ื‘ืฆื•ืจื” ืžืคื—ื™ื“ื” ืœื ืื•ื ืฉืœ ืขื•ื“ ืื—ืช ืžื”ืžื•ืขื“ืคื•ืช ืขืœื™,

1216
ืžื™ืฉืœ ืื•ื‘ืžื”.
02:10
(Cheers)
43
130840
2096
(ืžื—ื™ืื•ืช ื›ืคื™ื™ื)
02:12
And so I decided that I should probably write my own TED Talk,
44
132960
4016
ืื– ื”ื—ืœื˜ืชื™ ืฉื›ื“ืื™ ืฉืื›ืชื•ื‘ ื”ืจืฆืืช TED ืžืฉืœื™,
ื•ืœื›ืŸ ืื ื™ ื›ืืŸ.
02:17
and so that is what I am here to do.
45
137000
2496
02:19
I'm here to talk about my own observations about storytelling.
46
139520
4320
ืื ื™ ื›ืืŸ ื›ื“ื™ ืœื“ื‘ืจ ืขืœ ื”ืชื•ื‘ื ื•ืช ืฉืœื™ ืœื’ื‘ื™ ืกื™ืคื•ืจ ืกื™ืคื•ืจื™ื
02:24
I want to talk to you about the power of stories, of course,
47
144640
3976
ืื ื™ ืจื•ืฆื” ืœื“ื‘ืจ ืื™ืชื›ื ืขืœ ื”ื›ื— ืฉืœ ืกื™ืคื•ืจื™ื, ื›ืžื•ื‘ืŸ,
02:28
but I also want to talk about their limitations,
48
148640
2936
ืื‘ืœ ื’ื ืขืœ ื”ืžื’ื‘ืœื•ืช ืฉืœื”ื,
02:31
particularly for those of us who are interested in social justice.
49
151600
4040
ื‘ืžื™ื•ื—ื“ ืฉืœ ืืœื• ืžืื™ืชื ื• ื”ืžืขื•ื ื™ื™ื ื™ื ื‘ืฆื“ืง ื—ื‘ืจืชื™.
02:36
So since Adichie gave that talk seven years ago,
50
156280
2896
ืžืื– ื”ื”ืจืฆืื” ืฉืœ ืื“ื™ืฆ'ื™ ืœืคื ื™ ืฉื‘ืข ืฉื ื™ื
02:39
there has been a boom in storytelling.
51
159200
2256
ื”ื™ืชื” ื”ืฆืคื” ืฉืœ ืกื™ืคื•ืจื™ื.
02:41
Stories are everywhere,
52
161480
2736
ืกื™ืคื•ืจื™ื ื ืžืฆืื™ื ื‘ื›ืœ ืžืงื•ื,
02:44
and if there was a danger in the telling of one tired old tale,
53
164240
3936
ื•ืื ื”ื™ืชื” ืกื›ื ื” ื‘ืกื™ืคื•ืจื• ืฉืœ ืกื™ืคื•ืจ ื™ืฉืŸ ื•ืขื™ื™ืฃ,
02:48
then I think there has got to be lots to celebrate about the flourishing
54
168200
4336
ืื– ืื ื™ ื—ื•ืฉื‘ืช ืฉื™ืฉ ืžืงื•ื ืœื—ื’ื™ื’ื” ื‘ืฉืœ ื”ื—ื™ื“ื•ืฉ

can often get in the way of action towards social justice.
87

Now, this is not because storytellers mean any harm.

Quite the contrary.
89

ืœื”ื™ืคืš,
04:34
Storytellers are often do-gooders like me and, I suspect, yourselves.

And the audiences of storytellers

279600
3056
ื•ื”ืงื”ืœื™ื ืฉืœ ืžืกืคืจื™ื

Still, good intentions can have unintended consequences,

ืฉืœื•ืฉ ืกื™ื‘ื•ืช ืœืžื” ืื ื™ ื—ื•ืฉื‘ืช

that stories don't necessarily make the world a better place.

Firstly, stories can create an illusion of solidarity.

05:15
where you feel like you climbed that mountain, right,
101
315120

or that you befriended that death row inmate.

You haven't done anything.

Listening is an important
105

but insufficient step towards social action.

towards characters and protagonists

who are likable and human.
109
336960
3456
ืฉื”ื ื ื—ืžื“ื™ื ื•ืื ื•ืฉื™ื™ื.

And this makes sense, of course, right?
110

1896
ื•ื–ื” ื”ื’ื™ื•ื ื™, ื›ืžื•ื‘ืŸ, ื ื›ื•ืŸ?

Because if you like someone, then you care about them.

ืืš ื”ื”ืคืš ื”ื•ื ื’ื ื ื›ื•ืŸ.

1776
ืื ืืชื ืœื ืื•ื”ื‘ื™ื ืžื™ืฉื”ื•,

then you don't care about them.

05:53
you don't have to see yourself as having a moral obligation
116
353040

to think about the circumstances that shaped their lives.
117
356960

I learned this lesson when I was 14 years old.

to recognize their wisdom,

ื›ื“ื™ ืœืขืžื•ื“ ืœืฆื™ื“ื•.
06:12
So my bike was stolen

ืื–, ื”ืื•ืคื ื™ื™ื ืฉืœื™ ื ื’ื ื‘ื•

which is possible if you're riding slowly enough, which I was.

06:21
(Laughter)
127
381760

06:31
and so when you're riding a bike,
131
391080
1816
06:32
you don't want to be like, you know --
132
392920

154

ื”ื•ื ืžืื•ื“, ืžืื•ื“ ื›ื•ืขืก.

He looks at me with this look as if to say,

"You, with your shiny skin and your bike, you're angry at me?"
