There's an Africa you don't hear about...

Wow, am I inspired...

Some 10 years ago (!), as a high school teacher, I had the opportunity to "teach African culture" for 4 weeks. yes, in front of over 35 sophmores, as part of their "World Cultures" curriculum, I put together some lessons, activities, mini-lectures and readings using what I had at the time. Oh, if only I knew about TED then! Here's something I hope every high school student has access to...and, if you know someone who's interested in what's going on that's exciting, inspiring, changing...forward this along to them!

Thank you for reminding me about the "Brilliant" speech. I can remember, last fall, when I went through a 32-day process...each nigh, about an hour before going to sleep, I watched one or two "TEDTalks." That month helped, as I "fell into" a personal development routine.

I remember this quote (from Brilliant) resonating over and over again:

"Early detection, early response."

[Christopher Scott]

This is my all time favorite TED Talk.
