One of the best Ted Talks I've heard. Congrats, Gracia! I'm an American who's lived abroad in Latin America for over 20 years now. My two sons were born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and when dad died, we returned to the US (Utah) to live. My sons were different than the rest of the culture, were learning English , and I experienced along with them, what it was like to be marginalized within my own society. After 6 years, I'd had enough and returned to live abroad. I wanted my sons to be in a country where they felt free and not so looked down upon. We're now living happily in Mexico. I get you, sistah! Keep doing what you do so well. You're making a difference...
With the increase in globalization and multiculturalism the importance of such education about different cultures arises. Great observations and a insightful speech.
It’s such a profound gift to be able to connect to yourself and express reality in such a unique way. Many lessons can be drawn from this video beyond education system and culture competence. Well done Gracia!
I like this speech It makes me think about myself as a culture girl. It was interesting listening to her because it did connect o me when I first got here more Mexico, peers look at me wear and that makes me feel uncomfortable. but now i feel proud of who am i and what i have become from. She is right and we should do something to continue with the culture to respect each other no matter who we are.
We can all learn from her perspective, feelings, and struggles, which can move us to empathy and compassion to care for all who arrive, live, and become part of the woven fabric of a community. It calls for flexibility tolerance and understanding by all sides. If I for example am from Guatemala and move to Ruanda, should I expect the educational system in Ruanda to teach me about Guatemala? Maybe, maybe not, but I can share the richness of my background with them. The point she makes about teaching more about all continents is very valid. Parents and students have to take responsibility for education. If you expect Others to teach you heritage and culture you will always be frustrated
I think that at least the education system can recognize not to leave the learning on the shoulders of very young students. The dynamics/percentages of how many students from each culture that the student is aware of but the teacher or other students are not aware of change in every school. Ie: your example of a Guatemalan student in Rwanda. If each school and teachers had a course in cultural competency they could do much to shift and help to eradicate the microaggressions each single student or small group of students is mandatorilly forced to put up with. One teacher with empathy and understanding can lead a classroom of students into cultural acceptance. At this age when students are most open to learning a teacher can teach cultural empathy regarding the cultures of any students that are in her class. The teacher would have to be trained but once trained one teacher would know how to approach the subject with any future students and classes. There can be a cultural support online portal where teachers can get support and get their particular questions answered. The training can include ( among other ideas that the trainers would be aware of) How to approach a child who may feel left out culturally and have a one on one conversation to find out if they would like to share their culture with the rest of the class and how to introduce the subject and set up the learning in ways that any of the students involved will be embraced and celebrated instead of made fun of. These lessons can be taught in a way that once the young people learn with students who come from a different culture in their own class or school they will be able to carry those skills understandings and competencies out into the larger community. They will be able to practice empathy, curiosity, understanding, acceptance, celebration, inclusion and any other positive traits they gain with new people from other cultures that they have not yet been introduced to in the larger community and the world.

WHAT IS THAT PROFILE PICTURE HAHAHA
I truly wish this type of course was instituted and mandated - it would greatly benefit students
