How Colonialism & Capitalism Taught Us We Can Only Do One Thing | Trish Hosein | TEDxDelthorneWomen

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxDelthorneWomen, where x = independently organized TED event.
TEDxDelthorneWomen was executive produced, curated and hosted by Sonali Fiske, Founder of BIWoC Revolutionaries Take the Mic, a Talk Show Host on Rukus Avenue Radio, and a TEDx speaker herself.
With our theme, Revolutionize, we're about shining a light on the voices that are reimagining a new and just society through a revolutionary lens. Not just from a space of dismantling tired, old concepts and fighting oppressive views, but implanting fresh seeds rooted in new imaginings, curiosity and right relationship. As a multidisciplinary musician, Trinidadian-American Trish Hosein has been featured on NPR, Billboard, Rolling Stone India, MTV India, and VH1 India; and she has performed internationally, playing festivals like SXSW, CMW, Women’s Redrock Festival, Linda Perry’s Rock N Relief and Pyramid Yoga Festival.
Her visual art has been part of the Adidas “Nite Jogger” campaign and she has been nominated for Best Music Video at the South Asian Film Festival two years in a row.
Her passion for racial justice and her background as an immigrant has led her to work with organizations like Oxfam, volunteer and perform with the Bernie Sanders campaign in 2020, and write political pieces for Talkhouse, Brown Girl Magazine and Valley Doll Magazine. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Trish talks about the gifts of multidimensionality and I am here for it! I believe we are all creative and part of that is to accept and embrace the tensions we live into from within.

[@sonalifiske1193]

A deeply thought provoking TEDx Talk to incite revolutionary thinking around how we create, consume & measure productivity in this world. So needed for our shifting times. Thank for opening up the portals to free thinking around this topic.

I’m surprised this has not received more reach! This was a deeply insightful and thought provoking talk with such relevant perspectives to moving society forward especially with the help of those who see themselves as the multipotentialites.

YES -- when we know out WHY, this shifts everything. Thank you for spitting fire, Trish 🔥

Extremely inspirational in a world where we all need to challenge what we are doing and what is our purpose.

People who have never done anything always like to criticize and belittle those who have.

[@tfyy328]

The worlds labor had its value stolen through highly concentrated circles of power the last few centuries and your critique is that they do “nothing” and are jealous of those who do “something” what a joke

[@ryanboyd100]

We can do whatever we put our minds to when we are Awake
