Inclusive Communication: Bridging Community Gaps Effectively | Jenny Nguyen | TEDxOklahomaCity

What happens when one of our immigrant neighbors who doesn’t speak any English calls 911? Why don’t all emergency response teams have a plan ready for someone who doesn’t speak English? With 45 million immigrants in the United States, situations like this happen all the time. Jenny Nguyen suggests that with a cell phone and a heart, we can bridge community with more effective communication and ensure our neighbors have equal access to help and opportunity.

Bravo Jenny 👏👏👏 communication is so important! Google translate app has helped me through so much. As a nurse and a human, I highly recommend downloading it in case of emergency or to make a new friend. Learning a new language is hard. Bridging the gap with patience and communication shouldn’t be.
