Taking time off today to talk to you guys about something interesting.
Hi
I'm going to ask a series of questions.
Have you heard about TEDx Maitama? Yes? No?
What about TED Talks? Still doesn't ring a bell? Maybe this might jog your memory. Have you heard the song flawless by Beyonce? I feel like I got your attention now; you know the song that featured our very own Chimamanda. YESS!
That speech was from a TED event where Chimamanda spoke on feminism.
So Ted talks is a media organization that brings people together to share ideas that are worth spreading. It was founded by Richard Saul Wurman about 3 decades ago.
Now I'm particularly excited because I used to sit and watch these videos back in school and its exciting to be able to attend a similar event. TEDx Maitama is an independently organized event and this year's theme is bridging the gap. They have an amazing line up of speakers and you really don't want to miss out on the event. I'll be a part of the team as a volunteer and they've got a lot of cool stuff lined up. For more information, you can check out the website TEDx Maitama .
Tickets for the event cost N3000 and is available for purchase online, at dunes center (Abuja), El amin primary school Abuja and Shop365 (Abuja). The event in on the 12th of August at 10am at Dunes center Abuja. Looking forward to seeing you guys there.
I'll leave you with a link to a ted talk video.
Thank you!
Until next time,
Aisha
