In this 2020 TEDxSeattle talk, Jodi-Ann Burey explores the nuances of what professionals of color and other underrepresented groups face when they are told to “bring your authentic self to work.” Many who do so may face backlash when navigating company cultures designed around white privilege, exposing themselves to penalties for not conforming to the dominant culture. Burey calls for people of color and other underrepresented people to focus their energies on realizing their own imaginations for racial justice on their terms. Separately, Burey outlines steps toward achieving more equitable and just workplaces, and implores company leadership and people with privilege to accept accountability for changing their cultures.

2:49 — “Professionalism” as code for white cultural norms and standards
6:44 — How authenticity masks the need for systemic change
9:30 — Shares how gaslighting works to deny the realities of people of color at work
11:34 — Explains the work people of color have to do to mask themselves at work
12:54 — A call to action for people of color to create their own spaces for authenticity
13:19 — A call for those with power and privilege to take on the work of changing workplace culture

In an awe-inspiring talk about his journey of overcoming the language barrier, from studying in a local elementary school to interacting with people from a wide diaspora, from being scorned at by his superiors for not being ‘proficient’ in English to mesmerizing people at a global level, Naveen Suman talks about the need for incubating and supporting people’s language at the ground level itself to make them confident enough to express their ideas freely.
With the start of Naya Sawera, based on a concept of peer to peer learning, Naveen Suman has become a motivation for hundreds of children providing them with a platform to hone their talent. Not giving up and instead of seeing it as an opportunity to bounce back even higher, he has proven everyone wrong and shined against all odds.

Талқылауға үйренбеген тақырыпта сөйлесуден қорқудың қажеті жоқ, себебі әңгімелесу — ақпарат алмасу, тіпті білім беру жолы болып табылады. Бұл YouTube-те қазақ тілінде «Жабық тақырып» атты каналды жүргізетін журналист Әсел Ергешқызының пікірі. Оның мақсаты — қазақстандықтардың жыныстық сауаттылығын арттыру. Жыныстық қатынас тақырыбы әрдайым өзекті болатынына қарамастан, бұл туралы ақпарат кеңістігінде ашық айтудың қажеті жоқ деп санайды көпшілік, бұл «Ұят». Адамдар бұл туралы сөз таластыруды жалғастыруда, дегенмен Әсел ойлануға уақыт жұмсамай, жай ғана осы тақырыпта сөйлеуді бастады.

Не нужно бояться говорить о том, что не принято обсуждать, ведь разговор — это обмен информацией и даже форма просвещения. Так считает журналист Асель Ергешқызы, которая ведет на YouTube казахскоязычный канал «Жабық тақырып». Его цель — повышение сексуальной грамотности казахстанцев. При том, что тема секса во все времена актуальна, часто считается, что говорить о ней открыто в информационном пространстве не нужно, что это “Ұят”. Люди продолжают спорить об этом, но Асель не стала тратить время на раздумья и просто начала говорить, к чему призывает и общество.
Асель Ергешкызы ведет на YouTube казахскоязычный познавательный канал «Жабық тақырып», цель которого — повышение сексуальной грамотности. В своих влогах она затрагивает вопросы интимных отношений между мужчиной и женщиной и говорит на темы, которые в казахстанском обществе зачастую считается стыдным открыто обсуждать. Асель привлекает врачей и психологов к консультациям и ответам на вопросы от своих подписчиков.
Имеет многолетний журналистский опыт, помимо развития влога работает шеф-редактором социального ток-шоу на национальном телевизионном канале.

У Марата Садыкова родился сын с синдромом Дауна. В своем выступлении он признается, что сначала промелькнула мысль отказаться от ребенка, что он стеснялся его и ему было стыдно, что у него такой ребенок. Но в какой-то момент произошло переосмысление, и сейчас родители радуются успехам своего маленького чемпиона и учатся у него тому, что люди с ограниченными возможностями — это не они, а мы, и ограничения эти сидят в наших головах.

Любовь, секс и свидания часто считают «главной целью жизни». Однако, как часто мы в поиске любви избегаем быть наедине с собой? Как часто мы смотрим правде в глаза? Как часто создаём свой путь? И, убегая от себя в поисках любви, не избегаем ли мы, в конечном счёте, то, что вернёт нас к самим себе, что на самом деле сделает нас счастливыми?
Хайли Квинн — ведущий специалист Великобритании в индустрии свиданий. Она помогла 100 000 мужчин и женщин переосмыслить их личную жизнь.
Окончив Университетский колледж Лондона по специальности английский язык и психоанализ, Хайли основала свою собственную компанию, столкнувшись с индустрией знакомств и поработав писателем-невидимкой для героев из бестселлера New York Times «Game».
Будучи сторонницей навыков знакомств в реальной жизни, она использует свой вебсайт и онлайн клубы, чтобы показать людям, что в жизни есть более важные вещи, чем знакомства в Tinder.
Она была ведущим экспертом в многочисленных международных TV шоу и сняла документальную программу «BiCurious Me» из серии «Cutting Edge» на 4-ом канале, которая была основана на её исследованиях в области сексуальной жизни и отношений. Она также писала для «Cosmopolitan», «The Independent», «The Telegraph», а также регулярно ведёт влоги о социальных эксперементах.

These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
