The power of patience, persistence & perseverance | Percival Tussamba | TEDxBrighton

In this deeply personal talk, Percy Tussamba shares his journey from refugee to community leader — and the lessons he learned about hope, belonging and what it means to keep going. Arriving in the UK as a child, Percy faced the challenge of building a new life in an unfamiliar place. Over time, he found strength in sport, purpose in community, and founded a local boxing club that became a hub for connection, discipline and growth. At the heart of his message is a word he coined himself: Percyverance — the act of showing up, standing tall, and pushing forward, even when the odds feel overwhelming. Percy’s story is one of resilience not as toughness, but as heart. A reminder that belonging can be built, and sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is refuse to give up. Change maker, boxer and young social entrepreneur. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
