- In a world where identity and belonging are so often defined by our labels, diplomat and writer Graci Kim Cribbens asks the question: what is in a name? By exploring her experiences of adopting a pen name, only to reject it for her Korean roots, Graci's emotional and thought-provoking talk from TEDxYouth@AvonRiver 2018 will make you think twice about how you let labels define who you are. Graci Kim Cribbens is a New Zealand diplomat, writer, and social entrepreneur. Her career in the Foreign Service has taken her from negotiating wine trade agreements in South America, to walking down the red carpet in Beijing, to representing New Zealand at the World Trade Organisation in Geneva. Following stints in Taiwan and China, she is currently based back in Aotearoa with her husband and imaginary dog. When she’s not being a cheerleader for New Zealand, Graci writes Young Adult novels about magic and family under the name Graci Kim. Graci has also founded three start-ups in the creative tech space, including being the producer and host of online cooking show “Graci in the Kitchen”, which was broadcast on the Food Channel and the Tastemade Network, reaching almost a million viewers within its first year. A proud Kowi (Korean-Kiwi) raised in West Auckland, Graci is passionate about #ownvoices storytelling, youth empowerment, lifelong learning, and hacking the way to living our best lives. 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

Hi I saw you come to our school today ❤
Your awesome Your daughter is lucky to have a mum like you I'm liko you came by my school and if you could go back In time and beat them up would you do it actually you wouldn't would you because your a good person
very interesting talk, but the whole argument falls apart when looking at first names.
She's Korean; they - along with the Japanese (and other Asians) put their surname/father's name in front of their names. So her actual first name is Graci and her family name is Kim.
When you find out what a surname is and what it has done to the name your mother gave you you will change your mind about claiming the surname is you or belongs to you. Being employed by a foreign corporation claiming to be government do you already know of the birth certificate and language frauds?
