Description
Pack a lunch, invite a friend, and join the discussion! This month we will view and discuss Mia Birdsong's 2015 talk, "The story we tell about poverty isn't true." Birdsong has spent more than 20 years fighting for the self-determination of everyday people and pointing out the brilliant ways those people adapt to life's circumstances. In this powerful talk she asks us to look again at people in poverty: they may be broke, but they're not broken.
What they are: TED Talks are short, carefully prepared, idea-focused talks that foster learning, inspiration, and wonder.
Why we like 'em: no matter the topic covered, these talks provoke conversation and inspire listeners to continue thinking and learning far after the presenter has finished
How to join: bring your lunch to the library and join in as we watch a highly rated TED Talk and continue the conversation amongst ourselves
What else should I know? Coffee and dessert are provided
