About Holly Berkley Fletcher
There’s an African proverb of unknown origin: “A man without culture is like a zebra without stripes. ”
As a white American girl raised in Africa, that’s always kind of been me. The search for belonging has defined my life. I’ve eventually found it, but not in cultures, countries, organizations, or places. I’ve found it by letting go of some of my assumptions and learning to look well beneath the surface of the people I meet.
At this moment of tumult and grief in American life, many of us are feeling like stripe-less zebras.
