Beyond the Surface | Ebube Nwafor | TEDxYouth@AbbeyParkHS

There are infinite ways to fight against covert racism and we should all transition our mindsets and belief systems to not contain racism. The only way for the world to grow in its changing form is if we take steps to inform the new generation of children of the problems that surround us. Ebube Nwafor, a Grade 8 student at Joshua Creek Public School. Inspired by young TEDx speakers, she applied because of her dream of performing on stage. Her goal is to spread awareness about covert racism and help schools all over Halton further adapt to a safer and more comfortable environment for all children and teenagers. Having lived in three countries and attended seven schools, she’s seen the power of understanding different cultures and believes everyone deserves to belong. She is motivated by Emmanuel Macron's words, “We need people who dream impossible things, who may fail, sometimes succeed, but in any case, who have that ambition.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
