Modern family: The challenge to be seen as just a family | Malou van den Berg | TEDxAmsterdamWomen

“How did you make your child?” “Who of you is the real mom?” “Will you both stay the mom?”

By sharing her real life stories and struggles about the reactions she gets to her modern family, Malou van den Berg will let us experience what it feels like to be perceived as “different”. She will touch upon the concept of unconscious bias and the role of the media ánd share how we can create a more diverse and inclusive society.
