Author Lidia Yuknavitch gave a talk at the TED2016 conference on “the beauty of being a misfit.” We’ve embedded the full presentation in the video above—what do you think?
Here’s an excerpt from Yuknavitch’s talk: “Misfits don’t always know how to say ‘yes,’ or how to choose the big thing or say we want it, even when it’s right in front of us. It’s a shame we carry.”
In the past, several authors have spoken on the TED stage including Newbery Medalist Linda Sue Park, young adult novelist John Green, and Big Magic author Elizabeth Gilbert. Have you ever felt like an outcast?
