In today’s world, narratives matter. The story people tell about themselves — and that others believe — shapes identity. John Kibera rewrote his narrative from thief to teacher, from feared to followed. Communities must help others do the same. Labeling people by their past keeps them in chains. But rewriting narratives allows people to grow beyond their mistakes. Kibera’s life shows that identity is not fixed — it evolves. When we support people in rewriting their own story, we don’t just help one life; we shift the whole community toward healing, dignity, and progress.
