With a passion to dance combined with an intense academic, professional and social life, in 2013, Màriam faced Leukaemia. Her speech uncovers our today’s reality and demonstrates how solidarity may be the perfect ingredient to make the disease 100% curable. In 2013, Màriam met Leukaemia and her fast-moving world stopped abruptly; but luckily, keeping positive and dancing, she overcame this disease. This dancer tries to uncover our today’s reality in order to positively raise social awareness of Leukaemia in two directions: first, she defines people who suffer Leukaemia not as weak, but unstoppable, stronger and more alive than ever; and second, she demonstrates how solidarity is the perfect ingredient to make this disease 100% curable. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
