TEDxWALLSTREET is happening right now at the New York Stock - TopicsExpress



          

TEDxWALLSTREET is happening right now at the New York Stock Exchange! Im not present but my words are...The video of my poem NEW MONEY is being featured. View it here: bit.ly/1aCMfgj I was very conflicted when I was asked to open this conference because...well..its Wall Street...a very charged topic on which I have very charged views. If I was just giving a talk I could give my opinion knowing the next speaker would give his/hers and it wouldnt matter how polarized our views were. But as the opener of the conference AND my words being promoted on video, I be positioned as more of the VOICE of the event, which could be construed as being the voice of Wall Street for some, a positioning with which I was not comfortable. Considering that I had just spoken at the amazing TEDxSkidRow the month before I had to make sure I was keeping in alignment with my purpose on this earth. So I told them I would only do it if the piece reflected BOTH their overarching theme of FILLING THE VOID - bringing diverse perspectives to the conversation about how wall street can innovate to better serve unmet needs - as well as MY OWN perspective on Wall street/Main street/K street, capitalism, and transforming our definition of wealth ...spoken from a hopeful place. They encouraged that and New Money is the result. I hope this piece makes you proud. bit.ly/1aCMfgj PLEASE SHARE with your communities and subscribe to my youtube channel (youtube/sekouworld) for more! Thanks.
