Eliminating Stereotypes Through Stories

The only way to get past stereotypes is to become human, and to become human means telling your stories, which makes you unique and relatable and real in other people's eyes. People connect with what is real and authentic. Without that, we're all just objects to each other. But when we share our human experiences, we become something else, something we call human. And once we relate to each other as humans, the stereotypes melt away and we become alike because we're human.
