The different social spheres that we interact within shape our understanding of ourselves, our world view, how we interact with others, and how we treat others. My undergraduate experience of interacting with friends and classmates around the world shaped the way I approached stories. As I learned about their cultures and histories, I realised that there was a breadth of stories I did not have knowledge of. I think Kwabo does a fantastic job of creating a space for under-represented stories that help us understand the various nuances that exist within different cultural spaces.
