  • Summary

  • Say Your Word is a digital platform by the acclaimed novelist, storyteller and women’s rights activist Elif Shafak. A platform for words and anyone who cares about them. Language is the key to understanding and unlocking our world. It is also the key to the human heart. Words are often said to have power. What is not said that often is that they can hurt and even spread hatred and hostility, just like they can heal and bring about love, empathy and wisdom. They can divide, distance and "dehumanise", just like they can connect and “rehumanise" those who have been dehumanised. East and West, North and South, regardless of race, sex, gender, colour, religion, ethnicity, nationality or any other category, we are all made of stories. Stories bring us together, untold stories keep us apart. Today's word is DIRTY. Subscribe to Elif Shafak's new YouTube channel to discover the beauty, complexity and magic of words.
