This powerful presentation is based off of Taifa's riveting TEDx talk of the same title. Reparations for Black people, once fringe, has now captured the imagination of faith, academic and civic groups, as well as corporations, cities, states, and the federal government. Taifa's presentation shows that reparations is fundamental to a long overdue national reckoning of race in America. This keynote presentation is essential for university lectures, boardroom discussions, and government and corporate employee educational events.
This inspirational and entertaining presentation uses the popular parable of the baby eagle and the chickens to deliver the critical message that whatever the odds, one must have pride in oneself, coupled with perseverance, faith and trust, in order to soar to greatness. This keynote is particularly excellent for graduations as well as inspirations in the workplace.
In this rousing motivational presentation Taifa uses rhythmic verses from her writings that highlight leaders from the past who overcame great odds by seeing opportunities where others saw only obstacles. The keynote illuminates the principles of self-development, courage, persistence, passion, faith and action as keys to overcoming the limiting mentality of "I Can't; to the empowering mentality of "How Can I." This invigorating presentation is invaluable for conventions, universities or colleges, as well as corporate employee motivations.
