🥈 The Power of Complete Stories We often hear the phrase, "a single story can be dangerous." It's not just a warning but a call to action. This video perfectly encapsulates why we need to tell complete stories. In an age where snippets and sensational headlines dominate, we risk overlooking vital contributions and perpetuating outdated myths. You've probably seen it: a 51-year-old Turkish man, Yusuf Dikec, competes in a wrinkled T-shirt, minimal equipment, and wins Olympic silver. Social media is swamped with admiration for this "cool guy shooting with his hands in the pockets" and I loved it too. Someone who makes mastery look smooth and easy. I admire that AND appreciate all the practice that goes into making it look smooth and easy. But there's more to the story. Yusuf Dikec's journey to the podium was not a solo act. His achievement was part of a team event, where he competed alongside Sevval Ilayda Tarhan, a 24-year-old who shares his passion and skill. In fact, if we look at their individual performances, Sevval placed 7th, while Yusuf placed 13th in the same discipline. Yet, the narrative we celebrate on social media is that of a lone male hero. The woman, standing shoulder-to-shoulder, is barely mentioned. This selective storytelling not only skews reality but diminishes the recognition of women's contributions in a field where they've worked just as hard and excelled. Why do we allow such imbalanced narratives to flourish? Have we truly moved beyond patriarchal thinking when we still, consciously or unconsciously, erase women from their rightful place in history? Inclusion is always active, so let's actively challenge and change these narratives. Let’s share stories of achievement and excellence including everyone who deserves the spotlight. It’s time to honor the complete story, it's time to honor "the cool woman with her hands in the pocket." #FemaleLeadership #Leadership #ShowUp #beyondthesinglestory #checkyournarrative #paris2024 #olympics #silvermedal #teamachievment
