The Power of Redefining | Maysa Daw | TEDxAlManaraSquare

Deciding how you will define and measure yourself is one of the most important things you can ever do.
Maysa Daw defines herself as a musician, singer-songwriter, performer, and actress.
While she desires to be appreciated simply for that, Maysa mostly finds her definition with more emphasis on being a Palestinian woman, then artist.
Maysa talks about the difficulties she has with that definition, and shares what responsibilities being an artist under occupation in Palestine brings. Maysa Daw an indie musician, actress, singer-songwriter. The latest member of DAM; the first Palestinian hip hop crew, a member of “Kallemi”, as well as a solo performer and writer. 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

ms. daw, in the smallest of your unconscious actions - hand and lip movements - you connect the universal with the particular. just being your self is the beauty of god.
