Welcome to season 4 of Shaping the Narrative! In this episode, we introduce the topic of our season "Stories are Everywhere" what constitutes a story? and can we truly find stories in anything?

In the season finale episode, we break down the concept of Own Voices storytelling that started as a hashtag by Corinne Duyvis  to identify diverse books that are written by members of that same group. We also reflect on the past season,  ideas to encourage the concept of Own Voices in other types of storytelling, and some complications and risks of this concept.
