What is the importance of pride in this current political climate. I think in this climate, whoever was president, uh it's just important that we are here and we celebrate our life. I believe that it's important for us to express ourselves, express the freedom that we still have.Feels like we're in danger. So the pride parade feels like it means even more this year because it's a real demonstration. I think it's also community.It's also about family and friends and your loved ones and also standing up for w ...

Good morning everyone. My name is Jesse Sanchez and I'm the co-founder and president of the Neurodiversity Alliance. I'm also a husband, uh, a father of three beautiful kiddos and I'm someone for whom my whole life I've been searching for and I'm now building authentic communities. But see, I probably shouldn't actually be standing here today. My tale is one, statistically speaking, that's supposed to be a cautionary tale. See, my story begins with my mother who fled the grip of the drug cartel where my fat ...

Hi everyone and thank you so much for making the time and it's almost over. You're at the very last speaker and hopefully I will give you enough data to know how to work together. So I'm a little bit emotional today.I'm going to end this talk about why. But I truly believe in the Nordic dream. Oh, how I believe in the Nordic dream where the streets are paved with gender equality and we have clean air and opportunity to go around.We have free healthc care, education. What more is there to wish for. Oh, how I ...

Welcome back to Velio on MSNBC. I'm Charles Coleman Jr. . filling in for Ally today.Now, since returning to office, Donald Trump has dismantled decades old agencies and initiatives which were initially designed to protect black Americans and other marginalized communities. He has justified these actions by claiming he's rooting out racial discrimination disguised as diversity, equity, and inclusion. But as Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist Nicole Hannah Jones points out in a new york a new essay for the New ...

Dora Puhakka was a Speaker at TEDxEspoo Youth 2025! What does it truly mean to connect with another human being? In this TEDx Talk, Dora Puhakka invites us to reflect on one of the most universal human needs: to be seen, to be heard, and to feel that we belong. From the beginning of the Talk we are reminded that human connection is not a luxury - it is a necessity. Yet despite living in an increasingly interconnected world, many of us feel isolated, divided, and misunderstood. This Talk explores how concept ...

[Música] Hace 17 años me embarqué en mi primera expedición a los bosques de nubes del norte del Perú con una misión, buscar un mono tan raro que incluso por décadas se pensó que estaba extinto. Cuando llegué pasé casi un mes sin ver la luz del sol. Me rodeaba una nervina densa.La lluvia casi permanente hacía que cualquier camino se convierte en un lodas. El terreno empinado es la causa actual de mis dolores de espaldas y de rodillas. Un día, después de perder al grupo de monos por vez número 1000, cansada, ...

What if I told you that humans have yet a lot to learn from trees. Would you believe me. Let me begin with a short story hailing from the African continent.The story goes that when the world was first created, the Bob tree liked to wander around. It would use its roots to move and explore. However, the Bob's constant curiosity caught the attention of God, who was so annoyed by its journey.that he took the baba tree and he flipped it upside down so that its roots were up in the air. This leads me to the topi ...

Oh. Oh. [Music] [Applause] Where are you from.Sounds like a simple question, right. But if you're anything like me, you'll pause. Not because you don't know, but because where do you even begin to explain.My parents are from one country. I was raised in another, went to school in a different one, and feel at home in a fourth. And the truth is, I don't fully belong anywhere.But weirdly enough, I feel like I belong everywhere. And that's what it's like being a third culture kid or short TCK. We're the kids th ...
