Changing Africa's Narrative | Kelvin Doe | TEDxLusaka

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Kelvin Doe talks about the importance of African's changing their own narrative about the continent. Because if we don't, no one will.
Kelvin Doe is a self-taught Sierra Leonean engineer. A true inventor by age fifteen, Kelvin built his own radio station using discarded scrap metal and electrical items that he found in his home town. Kelvin finds solutions to problems in his community, for example, making batteries to light homes in Sierra Leone where electricity supply is inconsistent, or building a generator. Even the FM radio station was out of necessity - to give voice to young people in his country and enable them to discuss and debate the issues affecting them. Through his innovations and inventions, Kelvin participated in the Visiting Practitioners Program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and has had many speaking engagements at technology and engineering events.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

what am i doing in my life
Tiny Rick same he's like creating stuff and going on ted talks and meeting the principal of Harvard and stuff like that and I'm just like a potato
Really it all comes down to how hungry you are to invent. As the saying goes necessity is the mother of invention. You have to see what need of inventing surrounds you and be driven enough to do something about it. When you are given or have access to everything you need the less hungry you are as well as the less innovative you. There has to be some sort of scarcity of something really pushing you to invent.
Thinking out loud. Lol.
eating food, hahahaha you doing the best thing
feel like im just a waste compared to Kelvin :-)
having met both david and kelvin I could say that they are both very inspirational and amazing people.
OMG,,,,, The speech was so inspiring. Africa needs more people like David. Helping in discovering and supporting young talents, that will help in developing and preparing for a better tomorrow... Respect to you David, Not forgetting about you Kelvin_Congratulaion, God bless you.... 😇
God is a character in a 2000 year old book.
Based on a true story...
The god nicknamed God is a character in many, many books. For it is a FORM -- and as such, according to Plato, is what truly exists, while we poor creatures huddle in a cave.
Are you okay with people finding inspiration from old gods in myriads of fiction but not okay with those that find inspiration in the new gods?
You are not a free-thinker, that is for sure. For we think & let think -- even if WE think they are wrong.
Your Dogmatic Personality Disorder is showing. You haven't really changed a bit since you were a fundamentalist.
@@shatterfox5198 why do you have to bring religion up on something that really has nothing to do with religion?
@@monky3997 Dude did you just ping on me a comment I made in 2016.
blessed brains, KELVIN DOE !
mashallah tbark allah alhamdulillah inshallah better astaghfirullah
Amazingly inspirational, Thanks Kelvin, for sharing your experience!
The 7 dislikes are from the IMF
A Very honest inspiration from Africa continent.. well done...👍
Kelvin is a natural!
DJ Focus YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!
Amazing that is great I wish I be like you oneday
His confidence is amazing
Hah I love the Obama comments! 👏👏👏👏✌️ That’s cool. 😎
Awesome! I have been following Kelvin, and I am inspired by his story and hope I am able to guide my students to be as innovative have an out of the box thinking as he does.
Did you know as a Muslim he has been having a hard time coming back to the U.S., because of our stupid Tweeter-in-Chief?
instead of a DJ, I think of you more as an engineer, electrician, inventor, or something along that line. the reason being that you created the things needed to have your voice and music heard. being a DJ, you don't need to build your tools. fantastic innovative feets of success. good luck to you my friend
And I'm in the United states working workin
A top man so humble and grateful so so good to see. The love for his family and his opportunities is also amazing.
this kid is amazing
i believe in Africa and it's people.
This man is a living legend!!!
God bless you Kelvin! My daughter is half Sierra Leonian , I will show your wonderful experience to her . You are wonderful
Believe in what you are doing, do not believe in what people say about you.. keep the hard work going. peace and love bro. Dwarzark city in freetown sierra leone.
He knows who he is!! Check the fringes!!!
AWESOME!!! Kelvin, thank you for sharing your tallent and wisdom.
Wow! what an inspirational speech
In Africa we need more people like Kelvin
i can watch this video thousands times
Your a genius, keep at it and great things are bound to happen for you and your family.
why does this have such little views wtf
Damn, 4 years later and between back then and 2016 puberty hit him, honestly i respect him as he is only a few years older than me yet so smart and successful. I have always wished to do what he does and he is so practical, I have always tried breaking apart and "reverse engineering" yet I just end up breaking things whilst producing no results.
I'm very proud to see his improvement
I hope he is gonna do the big things that will impact not only Africa but the whole World.
Almost shared a tear..
He just poped in my recommendation which was a 7 years old video so i had to search for him now.
One Dislike hmm always has the negative minds 😐
it's now at 3...what about this is there to dislike.
Randomise IT now at 4 dislikes. people are crazy or maybe just stupid.
Randomise IT up to 7. those people probably feel like they haven't accomplished much in life, so might as well down on someone else's parade
Now it's 13....You'll always have this. Some people are just envious (you'll always have this from some human beings)
Jealousy is hate.
Amen to me. Excellent and very inspirational
21 people have no appreciation for Genius. :P
DJ focus... Respect bro keep doing good things bro much love 💯✌👍📚
He must kno dea whe!
Such a wonderful and brilliant person!!! 💜
You are amazing DJ focus. We need more people like you. Everywhere. You inspire us.

As an African who has followed a very similar path, I cannot watch this video without tears in my eyes. Well done, Kevin, and may you go from height to height!

God Bless you Kelvin Doe
I love this young man! DJ FOCUS! 🙂
Great
Oh Wow!! Amazing. So proud
That boy made me cry!
DJ Focusss!!!
Why gorilla toy on his bed in his hotel room in the US? Is that supposed to be a racial slur?
Edo Peter plus, Kelvin probably isn't aware of racism because it's on a whole different level here in the US. I've never experienced racism before until I came to the US as a kid.
Edo Peter I noticed that as well
Proud of You Mr. Kelvin Doe! Keep it up You will go far. Be blessed.
Ask yourself what is my talent???
DJ FOCUS! word spoken, only action is needed.
God created all from nothing and so will man create by the energy and power of God
DJ Focus, you are just brilliant. Keep up the good work with your innovations.
keep up the great work Kelvin Doe!!
At such a young age, he is doing fantastic. Speaking to a crowd and is a foreign language, is not easy. Keep up the good work David.
This kid is the Bill Gates of his country
