How we each reflect our cultural heritage | Erica Njoki | TEDxIEMadrid

Remember the Kikuyu proverb: "Mũti ũmaga ĩkũrĩ," meaning "The tree comes from the seed." Let us all be active participants in this cultural renaissance. Reflect on how your cultural perceptions are shaped by what you see and engage with, and consider how you can contribute to a more inclusive and authentic representation of beauty and identity. Erica Njoki is a university student at IE University, passionate about cultural preservation and diversity. As a Kenyan Kikuyu woman, she delves into the complexities of Kenya’s beauty standards, drawing from her rich cultural heritage and personal experiences. Erica is committed to redefining beauty norms by exploring the mirrored histories that shape our perceptions and celebrating the diverse tapestry of Kenyan culture. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
