  • Emi Mahmoud’s talk is a powerful combination of spoken word poetry along with insightful reflections on her childhood as a former refugee from Sudan growing up in Yemen and the United States. Her poems speak to the emotions that bind us all: fear, compassion, strength, vulnerability and ultimately love. (Recorded at TEDxKakumaCamp on June 9, 2018)
    Sudanese-American Slam Poet and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Emi Mahmoud uses evocative spoken word poetry to build compassion for refugees. An activist, author, a graduate from Yale University and once a refugee herself, Emi was recently appointed as Goodwill Ambassador to the UNHCR. Her new book Sisters’ Entrance, a book of poetry, is challenging perceptions across the world. 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

    Brilliant. More people need to see this, her words really are beautiful. She has become one of my favorite poets in a matter of a few poems. You can really see her passion and her message and her devotion. She’s an amazing inspiration to so many, and can do a lot of great in the present and future.

    Reclaim your birth-right. Revolt against degeneracy. Revolt against the modern world. Revolt against hedonism.
