I’m not your inspiration, thank you very much | Stella Young | TED Talk

Raise your disability awareness with the TED Talk ‚ÄúI’m not your inspiration, thank you very much.” In this video, comedian and journalist Stella Young shares about her life and experiences as a disabled person to break down society’s habit of objectifying the disabled. Young explains why the fact that she’s in a wheelchair doesn’t automatically turn her into a noble inspiration to all humanity. This talk will make you rethink your own perception of disability and give you ideas on how to approach diversity and inclusion, including building diverse teams at work.
