Our theme for August is “Tales Across Cultures” – a month-long dive into stories that transcend place and exist in multiple cultures throughout the years. Today’s episode, we’re looking at a classic tale of kindness, courage, and magic: Cinderella. She’s the girl in rags and ashes… the forgotten daughter… the one cleaning hearths while her stepsisters try on pearls and silk.But then—by fairy godmother, divine intervention, or sheer grit—she transforms.She goes to the ball.She wins the heart.She gets the slipper.She gets the crown. She’s a story of transformation.Of injustice made right.Of rising,literally,from the ashes.But where did she come from? Is Cinderella a European fairytale? A Disney princess?Or something older, deeper—woven into the dreams of cultures all over the world? Let’s lift the veil of fairy dust and see what’s underneath the slipper.
