For this piece, I chose to reflect on gender rights and why they matter, not just in theory, but in real life. Although it's a topic often debated in politics or discussed in the news, I've come to realize that gender rights shape people's everyday experiences more than many of us realize. My understanding of this changed significantly after I spent a few months living in Abu Dhabi in 2023.At first, I will admit I wasn't thrilled to leave Ireland. But after only a few weeks, not just me, but my entire famil ...

[applause] I want to share a story with you today about how a girl without a chair found a seed. Some people grow up asking what do I want to be. I grew up asking, "Will there be a chair for me?" Now, I want you to imagine this.You're 13 years old. The school bell rings, you grab your books, and you start running. Not because you're late, not because you're excited, but because if you weren't one of the first to reach the classroom, there won't be a chair left for you.Lose that race and you're left standing ...

Hello, Kalispera Bonacera. Um, yeah, obviously she gave it out. I'm totally Greek and I come from a very small town called Fibs or Tebe as you call it in Latin. You know, Fibs was the home of all ancient Greek tragedies and a Tyron was there, Antiggoni was there. So everything really in the ancient Greek tragedy scene happened in my hometown. So then when I was invited to speak here to TED, I thought, okay, is it me or are we living a new type of tragedy now? Is it a Greek one? No, but it's definitely Greek ...
