"Voy a seguir sembrando rebeldía hasta que cosech

"Voy a seguir sembrando rebeldía hasta que coseche libertad. Soy esa guerrera que nadie esperaba, pero estoy aquí, enfrente, sigo luchando, sigo resistiendo." - Jeanette Vizguerra Con demasiada frecuencia, los medios estadounidenses presentan a los inmigrantes indocumentados como víctimas indefensas, pero eso no es la verdad. En esta fascinante presentación, Jeanette Vizguerra cuenta su historia de cruzar la frontera, encontrar trabajo en los Estados Unidos y luchar por sus derechos. Es una historia de lucha, de dificultades, de coraje, de determinación y, sobre todo, de resistencia. Jeanette Vizguerra es una orgullosa mujer mexicana, madre y abuela con 23 años en los Estados Unidos como inmigrante. Se mudó a los Estados Unidos para ser conserje, trabajó como organizadora sindical y construyó su propia empresa. Después de ocho años de luchar contra la deportación, hizo pública su historia y buscó refugio en First Unitarian Society of Denver. Fundó Metro Denver Sanctuary Coalition, Sanctuary4All y Abolish ICE Denver. Fue nombrada una de las 100 personas más influyentes de la revista Time en 2017, pero sigue siendo un ser simple y humilde lleno de sueños e ideas. // Too often the US media portrays undocumented immigrants as helpless victims, but that is not the truth.

Parents of newly diagnosed Autistic children are p

Parents of newly diagnosed Autistic children are presented with an overwhelming array of therapies, many of which are very, very expensive. How do you know what’s best for you & your child? In this heartwarming talk, educator Robin Roscigno offers a kind, respectful approach to Autism that starts with a reality check: what if your fear of Autism is being exploited for profit by a multi-billion dollar industry? @feminesting is a PhD Candidate in Education at the Rutgers School of Education who specializes in the history of Autism intervention in the U.S. Her experience as a late-diagnosed Autistic woman, parent of an Autistic child, and educator with 10+ years of experience inspired @auteachofficial, her community outreach project about respectful, neurodiversity-informed parenting & teaching. AuTeach has reached 1M+ viewers on TikTok and has helped shape a new narrative around Autism.

Did you CHOOSE to watch this TEDx Talk today? Thin

Did you CHOOSE to watch this TEDx Talk today? Think carefully about your answer. It’s a question religious leaders, scientists, and philosophers have debated for centuries: does free will exist? And if it doesn’t, are we even responsible for our actions? In this mind-blowing talk (neuroscience pun intended), Sukumar Vijayaraghavan explains what the research indicates and how that answer could affect our lives, our laws, and how we operate in the world. Sukumar Vijayaraghavan is a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. His research on neurotransmitters could one day help explain how the brain responds to drugs of abuse and also the progression of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's disease. He is deeply interested in neuroscience research affects society, law, and ethics. He has a Ph.D in Plant Biochemistry and in his spare time, he moonlights as a standup comic. He’s performed locally and – in the age of zoom – internationally. He hopes to be good at it someday.

Antibiotics were an amazing drug – for a while.

Antibiotics were an amazing drug – for a while. But just two years ago, 2 million people got an antibiotic-resistant infection, what the U.S. Center for Disease Control calls "one of the biggest public health challenges of our time." So what if we looked at the problem in a completely different way? In this fascinating talk, microbiologist Ethan Mann explains how sharks inspired a lifesaving solution to antimicrobial resistance. Dr. Ethan Mann is the Vice President of @sharklettech Technologies, Inc., an innovative surface technology company based in Aurora, Colorado. Sharklet makes an appearance on @sharkweek TONIGHT at 8/7c on @discovery.

Feeling like you don't fit in? Wish you weren't different from other people? Good. It’s what makes you a bad*ss! Comedian Greg Bland is Deaf, but instead of lamenting his “hearing loss,” he celebrates his “Deaf gain!” In this inspiring talk, Greg shares two surprising advantages of being Deaf (don’t be jealous) and challenges YOU to embrace your differences too. He a serial entrepreneur with a Masters in Public Administration and an American Sign Langauge comedian, and loves to explore how humor can be a great equalizer and bridge-builder between Deaf and hearing cultures. His dog Kallie, who loves to bark, agrees.
