Evolving through dissonance | Kevin Jones | TEDxMtHood

[@ruperttheprince]

One of the most raw, honest and emotive talks I have ever watched. Too many lessons here to quote in one comment. This is one of my favorite Teds ever.

[@sorphealove3321]

so powerful, so filled with emotion..

[@gemmaatterks]

Ive added it to my list of faves too.

[@dollpdx]

Your own stories give all of this such power. I’m moved and inspired and challenged. Thank you for all you do.

[@mintylava4123]

agreed, this is a great ted.

[@phillipnorris3rd]

In this tough time when we are all scared, it is important to recognize who we are and who we have been. The way out is through kindness and acceptance. This talk is helping aim us in the right direction.

[@nonamebrand5704]

True, very true...

[@Iambuckandrews]

To go through what he has, wow.

[@carollcole]

now more than ever.

[@niyatirobertking8142]

[@anthonyweir3263]

Excellent job, Kevin! Congratulations!

[@alexleister]

2nd time watching, and I will watch it again, thats how good this is? like it was meant for right now.

[@nadiaferchichi]

Good call to action, connecting is the only way we are going to solves this worlds problems.

[@janetliu737]

Your talk is so inspiring. I have taken on the Asian American social justice cause. I will remember your advice to "listen and listen some more" and to remember that I do not come to be right. I have only my version of truth.

[@theresarives]

Wow did not see that coming.

[@jacquelinebrumbaugh]

I cannot imagine the pain, the life long struggle after shooting someone. I cannot imagine this gentle man shooting someone.

[@andreshedberg]

That got me too, you would carry that forever.

[@thisisarchiegraves]

I never saw it coming when the talk started.

[@johnbradey]

wow, I didnt see that coming.

[@jacquelinebrumbaugh]

@@thisisarchiegraves I know

[@theresarives]

saw this after watching, wow.

[@thisisjustright]

Great talk I was thinking if he knew what was coming, but I guess we all did.

[@justinberdand]

Wondering the same?

[@femmedejon]

This is so important!!

[@robertlcbranson6834]

Its amazing how our dreams change from when we are young, I would say though we may become what we are supposed to be rather than what we want to be.

[@rickyohe]

Trying to connect these days is hard, this virus separates us, not through race but through cause. How do you connect someone who insists on conspiracy? Someone who won't listen to reason?

[@kevinjones347]

Rick Yohe - tell them how you feel about them. Tell them you want to get closer and this “conspiracy” stuff is getting in the way. Say: “can we figure this out together”?

[@dannyturkin6229]

So how do we get out of the boundary now? When every is so scared?

[@jasminelovell]

exactly how I feel too.

[@orlageary5104]

and me!

[@therealjuanschmidt]

Awesome talk man!

[@ianrendle]

This is being seen for the first time at the right time, with the murder of George Floyd ripping our nation apart, we need people like this man to bring something new to the table.

[@cyndirhoads9571]

Excellent.

[@carolanneoswald2551]

In the year 2020 this is still a thing, shows just how slow humans move to do right and make amends.

[@georgemanu]

I was finding it hard to distinguish between real and the story.

[@brewsterdd]

Whats your view now brother on whats happening?

[@austinjay9486]

Is this showing across the country?

[@carolanneoswald2551]

I am wondering same thing.

[@phillipnorris3rd]

I want to see it

[@kevinjones347]

Not anymore

[@kevinjones347]

Carolanne Oswald not anymore

[@phillipnorris3rd]

@@kevinjones347 is that because of COVID?

[@deborafanjonas]

Anyone here for their PSY class?

[@sarahodeh4883]

me

[@luisbrezer]

Thats some serious cop training man, I wonder how many police get PTSD?

[@noraandrews8215]

Look whats happening in our city? Would you have believed when you did this talk?
