Discovering who we truly are and understanding how societal values and expectations have shaped our reality. Deconstructing these constructs can allow us to be our best selves and express our talents – beyond gender roles, racial stereotypes and other discriminating factors. A diverse world is opening before our eyes. Are we ready to see it? Meloe is a poet, performer and a legalist advocating for minority rights. Their poems are written in English, German and French and address themes like gender, relationships, discrimination and safe spaces. Meloe holds a BA in history and love drinking a cup of Lapsang. 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
