Challenging a Single Story:
My Topic:
For this project, we were assigned to chose a single story of something in Africa that we have held and do research to debunk it. I focused on education in Africa, and more specifically in Kenya. My knowledge of this very broad subject was narrow and I had a single story that education is not greatly valued within Africa and the quality is no where near the quality of education I experience. This single story has been formed out of ignorance. I used this project to research multiple perspectives on this issue and attempt to dispel this single story that many, including myself, have believed.
