Not My Narrative: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Straw Hut Media
Every society runs on stories it mistakes for facts. In America, those stories shape who gets help, who gets blamed, and who is left out. “Not My Narrative” is a podcast and essay series that debunks the pervasive myths that have been used to justify neglect, inequity, and the status quo — and elevates the people proving those myths wrong. Each episode pairs a podcast with three original essays. Together, they trace the origins of one stubborn myth that’s been handed down through politics, schools, and culture; document the harm it causes; offer a counter-narrative rooted in truth and justice; and highlight the leaders who are driving positive change by living out a different set of assumptions.

They don’t trust the “invisible hand” of capitalism, as once described by Adam Smith, to ever help Americans who themselves feel invisible.

Birth of a Nation vs Truth and Reconciliation
It’s important to remember where you come from. But the “master narrative” about where America comes from, as it is taught in our schools, has left out seemingly endless information. There are people trying to ensure we know where we really came from. How does that change us?
