Just stepped off the #TEDx stage ✨
Spoke on: “Reclaiming Identity, One Story at a Time: What Happens When We Learn the History They Never Taught Us.”

Every talk was so different, so powerful, and so inspiring.

In the 1950s, my mother went to a school where speaking Kikuyu meant carrying a “stone of shame” around your neck.

@Cikucheru Thanks for sharing this on FB! The ancient Egyptians say you die twice — when you physically die and when your name is mentioned last.

@twarria @YouTube Wow @twarria I love that Egyptian saying!
