- Amal Kassir is a Muslim woman, born and raised in Denver, Colorado, to a German-Iowan mother and a Syrian father. She is an international spoken word poet, having performed in 10 countries and more than 45 cities. She has conducted workshops, given lectures, and recited her poetry in venues ranging from youth prisons, to orphanages and refugee camps, from universities to churches and community spaces for the public. Amal performed her poem, "At The Table" during the Opening Plenary at Service Unites.
Service Unites, powered by Points of Light, is the largest service-related convening of nonprofit, government, business and civic leaders, bringing together thousands each year from around the globe to collaborate and ensure the volunteer sector continues to grow and innovate in this rapidly changing world. In 2018, attendees were challenged to be a spark that ignites civic culture - a culture in which living a civic life is the norm, not the exception; a culture in which every person is inspired, equipped and mobilized to be a citizen in the fullest sense, to take action that changes the world.

I find it offensive, divisive and racist. I am sorry have I said the wrong thing here?
David Browne you are white. Aren’t you?
@@maryazahid566 I find it very sad and hypocritical that one needs to refer to colour at all. I find most people, in fact, the vast majority of people who throw about terms like racist, fascist, Islamophobe etc are people with well defined and ingrained issues. Those who woke, like she is doing, are racist in their own right. Martin Luther King wanted to join people together as one. You people are attempting the exact opposite. That is a very sad state of affairs. Just the mere fact you are identifying me as white reflects sadly on you and your beliefs. Do I ask you if you are a Muslim? Do I ask you if you are a Sunni? Do I ask you if Allah sits on top of eight giant Mountain goats? NO. I simply said that I found this monologue by this person as offensive, divisive and racist. I can see no reason to reverse my opinion.
Please listen to her speech on TedX
@@zainabahmed3578 Thank you for your enquiry. For the reasons i gave to Nida Nida. I think they are fairly self explanatory.
@@zainabahmed3578 I think you mean each to their own perceptions and interpretations. I assume you don't agree with my perceptions of this young woman rather than you stating you are a racist - which I am sure you are not.
Well if you don't want representation at the table, what do you want? An authoritarian government where you have none?
she meant good representations, Not those who represent themselves.
get the between lines dude!!
