[Music] Nelson Mandela once said, "Education is the most powerful weapon with which you can use or you can use to change the world." When I was in school almost five and a half decades ago, the walls of the school were plastered with maps and the maps had lines. Those lines were beautiful, but those lines divided the world into countries, states, and districts. Those boundaries told us where we belonged and often where we did not.But let me ask you this. Do those boundaries still define us. Because if educa ...

I thought I was going to surprise you by introducing myself by the looks of it at least. I am a gynecological robotic and a cancer surgeon. But there's little more.If you look deeper, there is an engineer at heart. And I thought I left that engineer behind until 15 years ago, he returned. A few years into my practice, a 17-year-old girl came to me with a complex genetic problem of an undeveloped uterus with the trapped menstrual blood.The medical indication was not clear. remove the uterus that was indicate ...

of my journey across cultures and the importance of speaking up and challenging the stereotypes and also building awareness because when we break misconceptions we not only enlighten our mind but we build bridges along that we also grow as a better global citizens. Before I go any further, allow me to introduce the voice behind this journey. My name is Sharda Magenti and I have had the privilege of calling Nigeria my home for more than four decades and 38 years are spent in the heart of Kano.And for me it b ...

emotional intelligence. Now, let me share a personal story. There was a time when someone I deeply valued unintentionally hurt me.I had put thought and effort into selecting a special gift for that person, but to my surprise, that person totally forgot about it. I felt emotionally disturbed. disappointed, frustrated, and even hurt.In that moment, I had two choices. To react impulsively or manage my emotions intelligently. I did not allow my emotions to dictate my response.I approached the situation with emo ...

[Music] Good morning everybody. Let me start with asking you a few questions. How was your experience when you applied for your neat examination.The amount of certificates, the cash certificate, the income certificate, attestation, so on and so forth. Was it good. Repeated forms.It was as tough as preparing for your neat exams. I want you to also visualize. I would want you to just close your eyes for a second.Here is Laxshmi holding a small baby in hand and some tethered file in her hand walking around tab ...

Before we go forward, I'd like to take you back, not years, but decades. Picture yourself when you're 5 years old. >> I know. I'm so cute.What made you feel safe or seen. What made you feel curious or hopeful. We start life full of wonder.And even in that not knowing, we feel the world deeply. We sense when something fits and when it doesn't. When we're five, we have that kind of clarity unclouded by expectation.I'm a developmental psychologist and a professor. And for the past 25 years, I've tried to carry ...

[Applause] So again uh welcome everyone. This topic is uh very near and dear to my heart and I'm very excited to talk to you today on why I believe and hopefully you will too after I'm done cultural competence should be the new DEI. Think for a moment.Think about a time when you felt truly seen. Not just acknowledged, but deeply understood. A time when your unique perspective wasn't just tolerated, but actively sought out and valued.Your opinion mattered. How did you feel. Did you feel empowered, liberated, ...

Have you ever questioned the nature of your reality. That was one of the opening lies in the science fiction series Westworld posed to Dolores, an AI powered robotic and the main female character who later developed human consciousness. So I ask you, have you ever questioned the nature of your reality.That involves having human consciousness, understanding your identity, and asserting your self authority to write your own life story rather than allowing others to program it for you. Today, AI is evolving at ...

Before October 7th of 2023, have any of you ever confused Palestine with Pakistan, whether in Chinese or English. They're pretty similar, aren't they. When I first returned to Hong Kong after volunteering in Palestine for half a year back in 2022, I was startled by the sheer number of people who did.But perhaps it is understandable. Many schools in Hong Kong probably would not have offered an introduction to the Middle East throughout 12 years of education. Mine did not.And the Middle East does not figure m ...
