While I have notes on how to make the next one better, including changing the title 🙂 I’m pretty proud of this speech, 17 minutes, no notecards or prompter! So on its anniversary I figured I’d share it in its entirety. *Update please go to the @ted official site or YouTube to watch it! The sync is a little off here! ❤️ * * #tedtalks #tedxtalk #hollywood #nashville #afghanistan #afghan #actress #speaker #advocate #advocacy #representationmatters #diversityandinclusion #MENA #SWANA #CentralAsian #inclusion

Summer’s been a complicated one for sure. Chaotic, poetic, sparkly, dark. New things show up 🤍 and old things lurk to pull you deep into your humanness. 🖤 But you get bangs, (realizing they legit trauma bangs) show a little leg, say yes to the drinks and the friends, kiss your therapy pup, and honor all the moments with a fit check mirror selfie. 💛🌞☀️ #maincharacterenerg #summer #mirrorselfie #look #inspo #styleandthebeach #styleinspiration #notablogger #onstrike 🤷🏻♀️

Last night, under the 💫 ✨ , we listened to a group of young women speak with such grace & strength about fleeing Afghanistan, alone, and starting their lives over to continue access to education. Today, Afghanistan is the only country globally, that denies women over the age of 12 the right to education. The girls who had fled to safety, asked that we continue to shine a light on their sisters and friends back home who are being denied their basic human right to learn freely. #30birdsfoundation is doing wonderful work for these young women, and other girls continuing on their Education despite all obstacles and threats. If you’d like to learn more on how to support, mentor etc. please check the link in my bio. Thank you @mahyad @murn59 @goetech #reza & Jessica @usofalcbs for all that you’ve done and continue to do to champion girls and women in Afghanistan. Grateful to have been a part of a tv show and to work with this group that donate their time and money to help these girls flee and start their lives over again. Thank you to everyone who came in the photos and not in the pics. I 🖤❤️💚u #education #humanrights #afghanistan #freedom
