- Maryam tells a personal story about how showing kindness lead to an
understanding of what Diversity and
Inclusion really means. She states, "The way I dress shouldn't matter how people view me in the world. Instead, we should be judged by our actions and character."
Maryam Elassar is a third grader at Amana
Aacademy. She likes to play outside,
make crafts, and would love to see a world
where kids can overcome their differences.
She will connect her talk to the EL Design
Principle of Empathy and Caring by sharing
a story of how showing kindness lead to an
understanding of what Diversity and
Inclusion really means.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
What a wonderful story by this impressive young girl. Her soothing, confident voice and the way she gestured with her hands makes it look like she has been giving speeches like this for years. She clearly has a good heart. Anyone would do well to listen to this short talk from her.
Such a great job! Makes me happy to see young girls being so confident this way.
What a brave girl. If only adults would keep this attitude up of hers, world would be a better place.
I am 40, but I still like to hear and learn from children's speech.
A long time ago and lead a team of men doing a windows upgrade. We were all contractors at a massively huge company. I did NOT care that one was blue, one was orange, or one was handi capped. I did care the man gave me their best which was a new attitude for them. How we bonded was by talking about our grandmothers and how kind these women were to us and the shared experience. Also, sports, namely American football. I am fortunately that was raised by beatnicks so I was taught give people a chance to reveal themselves and they will.
I enjoyed her attitude. I am blessed to work in a hospital where everyone is the color of the rainbow.

FOLKS she s a girl she didnt make her mind up yet dont judge cuz she has not learnt to think for herself yet if u disagree with her fine i do to but dont insult an innocent child thats the lowest u can go
Plus dont call us "Folks"
@@Flower-dh3ls dont tell me what to do or what to say ima say folks if it pleases me ...and who is us?
Understand others' background, so you can play happily toghether...forever... 😭❤👍💞
I have watched this video three times and cry every single time. I couldn't have said it better myself.
Peace to all people As long a they respect themselves and others. No one should care about their religion or cultural differences; focus on what's important : making the world a peaceful place to encourage innovation and the efficient use of earth's resources for the upcoming generations.

This girl has beautiful voice and smarter than I thought! Clap for her!
"Impossible"to "I'm possible".💞👍🙏❤❤❤
Friendship is a nice thing. No governments should force friendships or anything else upon its nation.
However, Herbert Spencer, a political theorist and philosopher, was opposed to intermarriage between Westerners and people from other cultures, notably the Japanese. He argued that mixing "DIVERGENT VARIETIES" of people from "divergent modes of life" would produce people who were "ADAPTED TO NEITHER". He said that immigration in general, and immigration in America in particular, would eventually give rise to "IMMENSE SOCIAL MISCHIEF and SOCIAL DISORGANIZATION". And haven't we all seen this in America.

Yes, I'm going to take advice about living in a multicultural cesspool from someone who comes from a monocultural theology.
Do you take your ideology from the KKK's website? We think it's funny an adult is trying to give a child racist advice on a video fighting that exact thing. Take your xenophobic, racist comments elsewhere. Thank you.

Is it painful being a useful idiot all the time?
+Andy Eccentric It's painful living around people like you who think their wit is enough to give them a sense of superiority over an 8 year old that's already surpassed them in mental intelligence.
Alaa Elassar that 8 year old probably gets beat by her 40 year old husband. I'm not judging their cultural practices - just sayin'.
She's my sister. Not judging your cultural practices but wherever you come from must've taught you to be a close minded idiot because no one else would comment something so insensitive and disgusting.
epic
why do you have a towel on your head?
it's easier to conceal terrorism-related implements, it seems.
Its not a towel, its a hijab, you probably dont know what a hijab is, and maybe never will.
Well if u werent such a dimwitted human, u would know wut a muslim is
@@user-ej3iw8lw3w wow, if a muslim sees that message, i hope they laugh, they deserve it, but since u are just an unintelligent misguided person, im not surprised thats what u decided to respond with, very creative tho
Well it is not a towel its a hijab . she is even more beautiful with the hijab . you can never understand and next time dont judge a book by it's cover please.
She is kinda...momemtum.... But it is okay, good voice
Yeah
Me, tao :v
Me, too :v
Hay
Hey! No one gie me a like!?
Is she married yet, she seems a bit too old. Go Islam !!
A muslim talking about diversity??? Lol..
-_- isn't that rude?
You comment is rude btw.
In a world ruled my Muslims, the best that the rest of us can hope for is to be allowed to pay protection money, per verse 9:29 in the Koran.
Anyone can tell their story about diversity. btw, that comment is RUDE.
'it's ok to be an infidel' is the new 'it's ok to be white'
Um... no, what YOU need to do is have your parents stop forcing you to wear a headscarf and claim you as part of a religion you've never even heard of. Stop telling non-misogynist grownups what to do.
Um.. nobody is forcing her, she's clearly proud of it... and she's talking about her religion so not only has she heard of it but is clearly happy with it and has knowledge about it. What YOU need to do is get over your prejudice and be more human. Only petty bullies pick on kids.
mehrtanvir Um... no she was brainwashed by her misogynistic parents who like sexualizing and marking their children for a religion before she's even aware what religion is. She needed a fucking story book to tell people for her what that is, cuz she doesn't have a clue.
Xander Patten frankly it may help you to read one too as you are clearly speaking from a point of ignorance and inexplicable anger
You're assuming kids are fully in control of their choices and can make fully-informed decisions, which is false. Their brains have not developed yet. It's for this same reason that we have an age of consent in the West.
Which is assuming that adults are somehow magically bias-neutral beings who have grown out of the prejudices they grew up with / developed through limited social experience / limited knowledge / limited exposure to diversity of opinion, and also assuming that her message has no intrinsic value, regardless, and also assuming that some adults think they are smarter than kids which is anybody's guess. The age of consent in "the West"...? (correction: "we have" in the West) - O that place that "we" also know and have lived in somehow, as amazingly we are from the same planet and species... Sometimes this age falls to an incredible and dangerous low of 12 to 13 years, which research points out is also linked to commercialized children's media that has no qualms in sexualizing such young children to their detriment. Glass houses, throwing stones.

THATS NOT FUNNY
Yes not funny
Such a great job! Makes me happy to see young girls being so confident this way.
