    TEDx
    In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    Abled body people are afraid of what they don't understand. You help open the door to understanding. In our society as in all societies, beauty is culturally dependent. Unfortunately in our society, advertising media determines ours by promising an ideal that people, particularly women cannot attain, with or without disability.

    Every creature of God, made or formed by His divine hands, is BEAUTIFUL in it's own special way, because He makes all things for a glorious purpose, and with a glorious plan for each one. Praise to God the LORD for all that He has made!

    There is nothing beautiful about disability, this is such nonsense. It is a tragedy. We tell ourselves these things to cope, which is understandable, but it should not be framed as beautiful.
