Being Human – a journey to #FlipTheNarrative with Elly Chapple

The SENDcast

We wanted to bring your attention to an important movement called #FlipTheNarrative, which aims to shift our perspective and promote a more inclusive conversation about humanity.

In our society, there is a tendency to focus on deficits and differences when discussing individuals. However, it is crucial to reframe our thinking and recognise that at our core, we are all human beings who happen to be different. Embracing diversity is an essential part of our shared human experience, and it is time to evolve our understanding.

To delve deeper into this movement and understand its significance, we are excited to announce that Elly Chapple, the Founder of #FlipTheNarrative, joins Dale in today's episode. Elly will shed light on why it is crucial to flip the narrative, what it truly means to "be human", and how we can actively participate in this transformative process.

“We can always connect with another person, because in essence we're the same regardless of whether we've got different minds, different bodies, different life experiences. There is always a point of connection.”

Elly Chapple

Understanding and embracing this point of connection can help us build a more inclusive society. By directing our energy away from infighting and division, we can create a space where everyone feels valued and respected.
