Can storytelling change the world? In this talk, we explore how journalism and personal narratives drive powerful movements—from Mohamed Bouazizi sparking the Arab Spring, Greta Thunberg inspiring climate action, and George Floyd’s story fueling global protests, to Malala’s quiet diary that launched an education revolution.Through these examples, we see how stories rooted in human experience evoke empathy, inspire action, and redefine societies. But with this power comes responsibility: to tell stories with dignity, purpose, and hope.
