- In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxDelthorneWomen, where x = independently organized TED event.
TEDxDelthorneWomen was executive produced, curated and hosted by Sonali Fiske, Founder of BIWoC Revolutionaries Take the Mic, a Talk Show Host on Rukus Avenue Radio, and a TEDx speaker herself.
With our theme, Revolutionize, we're about shining a light on the voices that are reimagining a new and just society through a revolutionary lens. Not just from a space of dismantling tired, old concepts and fighting oppressive views, but implanting fresh seeds rooted in new imaginings, curiosity and right relationship. Jelan Agnew, LCSW is a psychotherapist, professor, facilitator and public speaker, with 16 years in the mental health field. She is the founder of Nalej of Self, LLC, a private practice dedicated to addressing Black generational trauma, identifying cycles/patterns and creating new ways of being through healing Mind, Body, Spirit.
Jelan’s work is committed to healing trauma within the Black community.
In addition to her work in the field, she’s open about her own struggles with Depression and Anxiety, and takes pride in saying, “I am a Black therapist, with a Black therapist”, as a means to destigmatize mental health.
Jelan, a Brooklyn native and Hartford resident, sees authenticity as a superpower and freedom as the ultimate life goal. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
"We are in survival mode so much that rest makes us uncomfortable..." I felt that one in my bones! valuing health over hustle! yes to that!
This TEDx speaks volumes and highly resonates. She delivered this exceptionally. Praying 🙏🏾 for our culture.
This needs to go viral. This has been healing for me.
This talk is one of the best I've ever seen. I feel like she hit so many points in a shorter amount of time, than some of the other TED talks covering a similar topic.
She is on point and speaking the truth ❤

On point Jelan with Code Switching and Micro Aggressions you said it real talk girl 👧 👏 🙌 👌 💯
Wonderful talk. Excellent job on creating the parallel between the two worlds. Wonderful display of what cognitive dissonance looks like and the trauma responses it invokes. Keep keeping on sis. Do the damn thing!
So much that should and does resonate, Jelan. Gratitude for your work!
THIS RIGHT HERE!!! It's so real! The presentation of the problem was on point as well!
Wow absolute chills.
Excellent video from the very beginning till the end!

Agreed! It was a powerful speech.
Say ya LESSON Jelan! This is a POWERFUL WORD! Thanks for staying on the wall & in the gap. There is time for a shift in this season. Time to Tear Down & Build Up!
Please, please, share more when possible. ❤
Excellent!!!
May Allah bless you Sis! And yet we rise! ❤🇹🇹❤
Yasss thank you so much 💓 💖 💗 💛 ❤️ 💕 💓 💖 💗 💛 ❤️
I agree with most but not all of it, well done ma'am 👏
Wow! This makes me want to hear an immigrant version of this talk.
Aversion to indigenous beliefs can be a trauma response but it can also be the result of an informed choice.
All of this, sis!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great video, very enlightening.
Super proud of you this was insightful! Keep up the good work💙
Incredible!
Thanks
I often fight myself about resting when I’m genuinely tired & then when I have things to do I find myself flaking
I love this TedxTalk , i want to cry ad clap at the same time lol beautiful speech
❤WOW! This was so good and so well done 👍🏾
Wow! This is good! Thank you!
This is my clarification
Love it!
Passed down coping mechanism love this Ted talk ase
Yasss sis! I love this!
You're on to something. I wish you could go a little deeper.
fantastic job!
i think its because of the tradition of church and upbringing.
We also code switch within our cultures as well!!! Tribal effect? Just a thought!!!
I love how this video has way fewer views relative to others that have been up around the same time. More white people need to watch this but judging by who's in the comments doesn't look like it.
LOBR LOVE LOVE!!!!
and she's beautiful...
Amen
