Stories are a powerful form of framing, especially because the human brain is wired for remembering stories. In order to make sense of the overcomplicated world, narratives allow us to have simplified plots, conflicts, and casts of characters. Facts and figures noting gender discrimination, for example, will only take a feminist movement so far. Publicizing a story of a specific black woman who was unjustly denied employment because of her race and gender gives the audience a glimpse into the life of person with whom they may see a bit of themselves or someone they know or love. Identification is a powerful tool of social movements to inspire mobilization, and storytelling is an important tool for individuals and groups to be seen, heard, and understood. In addition, the act of telling one’s own story is in itself a form of activism; in a society where voices of marginalized groups are systematically silenced by hegemonies, speaking out about one’s experience can be radical.
