  • What can't Candace Parker do? A two-time NCAA champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time WNBA champion, Parker knows what it takes to fight for your dreams. In this inspiring talk, she shares what she's learned during a career spent not accepting limits -- and how her daughter taught her the best lesson of all. "Barrier breaking is about not staying in your lane and not being something that the world expects you to be," she says. "It's about not accepting limitations."

    “I am so much more.” That is a meditation on its own. ❤️

    I am raising a 10 yo black girl who is taller than most adults. She is already having trouble with adults commenting on how tall she is, also feeling like she is so much more than just tall. She swims, dances, plays guitar, clarinet, volleyball, loves math and wants to be a writer. Thank you for sharing your crucial experiences and insight, Candace.

    I was watching the game today with the New York Liberty at the Chicago Sky. The Announcers were talking about Candace Parker singing the Helping Verbs Song. Now I know what that is! TED Talks are a gift from God, they are valuable and fun to watch, and educational!

    Why did 2k decide not feature Candace on the standard edition of NBA 2k22 instead of relegating her to a less prominent space as a Game Stop exclusive?

    • @RobRoschewsk
      @RobRoschewsk 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cuz GameStop needs all the help it can get ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      There are some barriers when you go up and up. Some jumping mobile game if you played.

    The irony is that she is talking about accepting people, not putting them into "boxes", talking about "body positivity and body consciousness towards all shapes and sizes" and at the same time opens the lecture by focusing on the height of "5'7 guy at TSA PreCheck". She is there to flex her accomplishments and how good of a mother she is, provoking feminism without giving examples and ideas HOW to actually break down the barriers. TED, you can definitely do better.
