Language is the key to understanding and unlocking our complicated world.
It is also the key to the human heart.
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, but untold stories keep us apart.
In losing our voice something in us dies.
Words have the power to change minds, move hearts.
They can help and heal, but just as easily, they can hurt and destroy.
Deep within, we all know that words are magic, but we rarely, if ever, stop to think about them.
Words cannot be rushed. They deserve our attention, reflection and love.
The words we tell ourselves and the words we tell each other can make the world a better, fairer place.
Say Your Word is a digital platform by the acclaimed novelist, storyteller and women’s rights activist Elif Shafak.

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.
