I was in Tanzania, working TEDGlobal 2017, and my Lord was it a task. So many amazing people coming together in Arusha, to celebrate, uplift and find solutions for the continent of Africa. However, I rarely get to see the talks while onsite. This time though, while working and running around, a soft, thoughtful, and poetic voice beckoned my attention to the simulcast area. There on the big screen, OluTimehin Adegbeye passionately spoke about how the government land grabs are destroying the lives of thousands who live in the coastal communities of Lagos, Nigeria, to make way for a "new Dubai." She easily became my favorite talk, and favorite person (she twerked in celebration, and put in her TED bio "Ask me about Osun and Cardi B).
Also, 2017 has less than 4 months left. Now is a better time than any to start planning for 2018 (I actually recommend it). Check out these talks on goals.
