Live Speaking Events Exploring Unlimited Human Potential
One or several of the 10 high-profile professionals of color featured in the Told They Can’t documentary will engage attendees via live, in-person motivational keynote talks, panel discussions, lectures, workshops, and/or breakout groups, in combination with the screening of exclusive clips from Told They Can’t. They aren’t from privileged, or even traditional backgrounds. Growing up they experienced homelessness, hunger, poverty, neglect, and abuse, exacerbated by society’s cruel indifference toward their suffering. Many even worked full-time as migrant child farm laborers with their earnings going to help with family survival.
None of it stopped them. Today they’re doctors, research scientists, engineers, educators, and leaders elected to the U.S. Congress and California State Assembly and Senate. Their impressive accomplishments include authoring hundreds of scientific research papers published in The New England Journal of Medicine; contributing to the development of pivotal Apple products such as the Bondi Blue iMac, the Cube, iPad, MacBook Pro; and teaching medicine at Stanford School of Medicine and UCSF Fresno. Their success, in defiance of all odds and adversity, is a testament to the indomitable human spirit. Their examples of turning poverty and hardship into personal and professional triumph is a reminder of the unlimited human potential of every child, and what is indeed possible for them, including children from immigrant and refugee families, and those experiencing homelessness or other extraordinary family crises.
