The Masks we all wear | Ashanti Branch | TEDxOakland

In this talk, Ashanti Branch shares a powerful message on how we often put on masks to survive, for fear of being vulnerable or misunderstood. What masks do you wear? How can we work to take these off, and encourage others to live without theirs as well? He encourages us to take a closer look at the masks we wear and to understand why we wear them. 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

Thank you, Brother, I am not sure why I am just seeing your comment, but I am so thankful for your friendship and for the inspiration I get from you

today the masks we wear means something different. However, the masks we wear during COVID don’t do much either. So why do we wear masks?
