TED Talks: UNICEF Ambassador Sarah Jones’ Inspiring Multicultural One Woman Show (Video)

11 Feb
2010


I watched this video this morn­ing on a very nice blog called “Steadfast As Thou Art-​The Art Mill and Pit of James Sumner Leese” and I just HAD to share it with all of you. This was a very pos­i­tive, funny and almost mov­ing video of a talk given by a woman named Sarah Jones who is described as a “Tony Award-​winning monolo­gist, UNICEF ambas­sador, fire­brand and FCC-​fighting poet” whom I had never been intro­duced to but I could now prob­a­bly watch all the time.

She was speak­ing at The TED con­fer­ences which are being held this week in Long Beach and Palm Springs, California. If you are not famil­iar with TED it is an acronym for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It describes itself as “a small non­profit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading”. That descrip­tion cer­tainly doesn’t do it jus­tice but it gives you insight into the peo­ple behind it.

I encour­age you to visit the site and learn more about TED and the many other won­der­ful speak­ers that were show­cased because the whole event is online for all of us who couldn’t attend but def­i­nitely want to be a part of it. I hope you enjoy the video and would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for read­ing,

Literary Nobody
