Listen, Learn, & Speak Up - Allyship & Activism | Chiara Lea | TEDxBrentwoodCollegeSchool

At the 7th Annual TEDxBrentwoodCollegeSchool, Brentwood student Chiara shares thoughts on allyship and activism. Our society has become plagued with performative activists or fake allies. So how do you avoid the pitfalls of becoming a performative ally? This talk will outline how and why you shouldn't be a performative activist. Through listening, learning, and speaking up, we can all become better allies and activists. Chiara is a senior at Brentwood College School. She has spent most of her life traveling between different countries as she has lived between the UK, the United States, and Canada. Her first-ever act of activism was in the 9th grade when she went to her first rally, The March For Our Lives in the US. Ever since then she has used her public speaking and debate abilities to further extend her knowledge of politics. She has worked with Mayor Eric Garcetti in Los Angeles to increase voter turnout in youths and has had numerous volunteer experiences tied back to politics. She loves chatting with anyone about her passion for history and politics. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
