TED Talk -- The Beauty of Human Skin in Every Color

     This TED Talk was preformed by Angélica Dass, a Brazilian. According to Dass ‘s talk,  she was born in a family that people have different skin colors, and she was born with brown
skin. She was despised by the school and the society because of her skin color. She and the white cousin walked in but were mistaken as the cousin of her cousin. She could not even take the main elevator of the apartment. She grew up and became a photographer. One day, she had an idea to create a project called “humanae” — taking a portrait of a person in front of a white background and going to the same color as the background on the nose. (Just like the picture above.👆👆)

     When she finished this series of works, this work was popular in society. However, this work lets many people update their thoughts about the skin color. And this work encourages many people who suffered those kinds of experience like Dass.

    In my opinion, I think the people that have any color skin are equal. Human don't have high level or low level. Although the society has progressed and slavery has been abolished, there are still many people in the society who have fixed their minds before and despise blacks. I really like this speech, and I admire the Brazilian black lady, who is willing to share her experience and help many people who are laughed at because of their skin color.

    When I watching Angélica Dass's speech, it sounds like English isn't her first language, she has a different accent. But it doesn't influence her speech, she still speak very well. I always care about my accent, not as authentic as the Americans. So I worry that when people hear my accent, they will laugh me. After watching this TED Talk, I realize that others won't care you accent, and confident is more important than accent. 💪💪
