Living with depression | Megan Beech | TEDxNewnham

Megan Beech makes sense of her relationship with mental illness through a performance poem centred around the art of ‘kintsugi'. This is the Japanese practice of repairing pottery so that cracks are filled with gold, making them more visible, rather than less, and a beautiful part of the overall piece. Megan Beech is a performance poet. She was the winner of the Poetry Society’s SLAMbassadors national youth slam in 2011. Her debut collection, ‘When I Grow Up I Want to be Mary Beard’ was published in 2013, and her latest book, ‘You Sad Feminist’ was released in 2017. She was featured in the Guardian lists of ‘inspiring young feminists in 2014’ and ‘Must Read Books of the Year 2014’ and Evening Standard’s list of ‘Ten 21st Century feminist icons’. 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
