Why your truth is your superpower | Ash Palmisciano | TEDxLeamingtonSpa

Ever felt lost or like you’re on the wrong path? In this powerful and moving talk, TV actor and transgender role model Ash Palmisciano discusses the personal struggles he encountered on the journey to living his ‘truth’ and emphasises the importance of celebrating our perceived flaws to uncover our hidden superpower and be who we needed when we were younger. Ash is an actor, writer and presenter, who, in 2018, landed the ground-breaking role of Matty Barton, the first ever transgender character on
ITV’s Emmerdale. This role saw him earn Inside Soap’s ‘Best Newcomer’ award the same year. Ash is now set on using his hard-earned platform to make a positive difference in our society and recently became a judge for the National Diversity Awards. 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
