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.
I am glad that you have drawn some inspration from my story. Keep strong and focused on your journey. Dont compare yourself to anybody.
Kkkk 😂😂😂 I have enjoyed this you are the best Trevor 😂😂😂
It's been many years since you featured at TEDx I'm amazed how much you inspire me.
@@godfreysenga2409 thank you so much
Thanks for sharing
Thank you Mr Ncube for your contribution to the empowerment and enlightenment of the average Zimbabwean. See you on Conversations in a year or two.
im going through a very rough patch in my academic career, and your words and experience strengthen me. Ngiyabonga khakhulu Baba Ncube
You are an inspirational to many, every time I have to speak about PWDs issues I refer to your story
Inspiring, This should have aired on National TV. Imagine how many young people of Zimbabwe could be inspired by this story.. Wow!!
It is very educational and thoughtful speech!!!
No complicate words, but simple, clear, commonly understood language!
I wasmoved, inspired, challenged - all at the same time - by your presentation. I am proud to have passed through your hands at the University of Zimbabwe where you were my tutor and ofcourse SRC Vice President. Now look where that got me and you! Continue to lift the torch higher!
best ted talk or any talk I listened to
After 8 years I’m here , thank you for raising our flag
Oh my goodness. So entertaining and yet so powerful and inspiring.
Trevor, good to hear your story and lessons. Just to share that these behaviour of teachers are found everywhere: I grew up as a girl in a mining town in Germany and my father and grandfather were workers in the mine. My school experience after primary school was terrible, as I was often forced by my teacher to read my "useless" essays: they often stated that I actually could neither read nor write German and I passed my A´levels solely because of my rebellious uprising (I will show him!)
Beautiful..why should i be normal?Im different and embracing it!
Trevor is an Amazing guy...
Powerful !!!!!!that's all I can say. My Teacher who built me was Ms Ngcebetsha at Lupane Primary school.I hope she is still alive. She was the Kindest soul. Thanks Trevor for reminding me of my " Formative years"
THE BEST TED TALK SO FARE ....ABSOLUTLY THE BEST
I will defenetly share this with my friends..Thanks so much Trevor for great inspirtion talk..
From Finland
Thank you Trevor for sharing about your life. Its like walking down memory lane for me as I resonate with many points you have mentioned. You are a true role model. May God continue to guide and bless you.

Beautiful Ted Talk
Brilliant presentation. Inspiring. Love the mix of humour whilst talking about some of the most painful moments in your life
Thanx Trevor for sharing your story, I took few for myself, need to more inspire to young ones as well.
wooooow to think i could have missed this one ...quite inspiring
Thanks for sharing! Brilliant talk.
Yes.. an amazing guy. He should/could be a stand up comedian
and my real good exams in English and French (languages I spoke and wrote better than my motherlanguage!). I agree with you that we all need someone to affirm us and build us up and teachers are such a powerful group of people (together with parents obviously) who can make or break a child. I am now working for the United Nations in Abidjan and have spent over 20 years of my life in Africa. I lived in your wonderful country as well...from the glorious 1980 to a less glorious 1994...
Those days the abuse was too much everywhere, and teachers were worse
Great way to convey information effectively
Awesome
Very sad but quite humorous. God bless you
very good
Amazing
The best TED talk so far
This is Brilliant Trevor, i have just listened to this and it was an eye opener.
Wow this is so inspiring. Thank u for sharing. Amazing what God,s plans can be. Sometimes it's good when u get fired. Sometimes it's good to be divorced. Wow.
2021
Wow
Your shoes story hahaha... l can relate. During primary school, My father cud afford buying me shoes but l wud leave them home in order to fit in. My friends didnt have, and so l wouldnt want to be the odd one out 😂😂😂😂
Trevor is very amusing.. lol..
How rude was the teacher...Nasty lady..Yes words & letters all have their own vibrational energies
What the fuck? Why are the people laughing at the things he says? I don't get it. Is it canned laughter or something? I don't get it.
