- What can't Candace Parker do? A two-time NCAA champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time WNBA champion, Parker knows what it takes to fight for your dreams. In this inspiring talk, she shares what she's learned during a career spent not accepting limits -- and how her daughter taught her the best lesson of all. "Barrier breaking is about not staying in your lane and not being something that the world expects you to be," she says. "It's about not accepting limitations."

“I am so much more.” That is a meditation on its own. ❤️
Present,
Words that supremacists live by 👍
I am a 44 yr old white male and will continue to remain an ally for equality!!!! I’m raising a biracial son and daughter alone and we WILL break barriers!!!! ❤️. Amazing talk!!
The most clap-happy TED audience, let her speak!
Yes! I love this - especially the "I am so much more".
Manifesting this energy for life
That was a slam dunk of a talk! You do you, Candace!
One of the most admirable speakers yet.
I am raising a 10 yo black girl who is taller than most adults. She is already having trouble with adults commenting on how tall she is, also feeling like she is so much more than just tall. She swims, dances, plays guitar, clarinet, volleyball, loves math and wants to be a writer. Thank you for sharing your crucial experiences and insight, Candace.
Love this and I met her! She was such a lovely person and I love this message!
Breaking down barriers. I absolutely loved it. Awesome!!!
Obstacles into Opportunities!! YAASSSSS!
Thank you so much for this!
so motivating and cool - I love this lady and her speach
Damn she really broke past the barrier of her name being Candace
I too dream big, don't accept limitations and want to break down barriers.
"Barrier breaker is about not staying in your lane" 🔥
Love your videos!! Everyone be safe out there ❤️❤️👑
I remain here until it gets 1.000.000+ views. Awesome speaker. with awesome thoughts. Even so much more, than an awesome speaker with awesome thoughts.
A powerful talk.🙌 God bless your heart.❤
I was watching the game today with the New York Liberty at the Chicago Sky. The Announcers were talking about Candace Parker singing the Helping Verbs Song. Now I know what that is! TED Talks are a gift from God, they are valuable and fun to watch, and educational!
Thank you
Amazing talk
Reminds me to a Bruce Lee quote: "Having no way as a way, no limits as limitation."
Perfect
The best
Nice
Great speech! Greetings from Republic of Sakha!)
Love You
Love the video so much but I don't understand the meaning of the word "Quotas" 6:28. Can you explain to me?
👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
She looks like she's got dope dance moves.
영상 잘보고 가요~~ ,오늘 못본건 내일 너무 피곤해서 ㅎ;;
❣
You are awesome
Way to go Can-do Candace Spiderwoman.
When are we going to get the next installment of Sam Hyde - "Breaking down barriers?"
Hahahaha
"When we had the b-, the audacity"
Why did 2k decide not feature Candace on the standard edition of NBA 2k22 instead of relegating her to a less prominent space as a Game Stop exclusive?
Cuz GameStop needs all the help it can get ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Lol. I really like Laila
My Gen Z kiddo said and by memes 😂

What barriers has she broken
There are some barriers when you go up and up. Some jumping mobile game if you played.
The ones in her head
My first question would be is you want to go out for a cup of coffee
there was a time when ted used to be great.
Nếu thích bản cover này của Đức Phúc thì hãy chia sẻ thật nhiều ạ. Ekip sẽ có động lực tiếp tục ra mắt nhiều ca khúc tiếp theo nè ❤
Переведите на русский
so... you don't play basketball...
Easy.... Have the barriers hidden beyond human recognition to realize it's right in front of him Grrrr
You're so beautiful and adorable 😍
The irony is that she is talking about accepting people, not putting them into "boxes", talking about "body positivity and body consciousness towards all shapes and sizes" and at the same time opens the lecture by focusing on the height of "5'7 guy at TSA PreCheck". She is there to flex her accomplishments and how good of a mother she is, provoking feminism without giving examples and ideas HOW to actually break down the barriers. TED, you can definitely do better.
China is great.
👍
Everyone told her, "You're a woman. You can't play in the WNBA."
30 seconds in, you complain about people passing judgment based on looks. Then proceed to patronize someone for their height? Lol ok
😂
