My Audition for the TEDx Talk about Circassian History that never happened!
158 YEARS AGO
We Circassians became invisible.
A few years ago I auditioned for a TEDx Talk and was accepted based on THIS video. No one could measure HOW DELIRIOUSLY HAPPY I WAS!
Then this TEDx Talk was canceled for COVID and for the reasons that the staff could not specifically verify my facts as there was no way for them to verify the information I presented, because our "history" can not be cross-examined and authenticated by any legitimate sources, therefore NOT published. So I was not invited back to do the TEDx Talk after COVID.
So once again...we tried to speak...and were silenced.
The generational trauma of war, genocide and exile is NOT as bad as the pain of being silenced.
SILENCE IS THE ULTIMATE BURDEN WE CARRY...
