Talks: The Power of Perspective

THE LIFE OF A BLACK SHEEP

This talk discusses the concept of foreignness and how the adoption of perspective helps us to be more empathetic and, consequently, more human. Here, I share my experiences as an educated black man in a white-dominated career and how feeling "too foreign for home, too foreign for here. Never enough for both” has shaped how I see the world and the way I show up in it. The hope is that my story might widen the aperture of how you see the world also, and lubricate the connective ties that bind us all.
