everyone is worthy of respect
everyone is worthy to be dignified but
what does dignified actually mean you’re
gonna be listening to many speakers and
you’re gonna be hearing the word
dignified a whole lot but I wanted to
grace you by explaining to you what
dignified actually means dignified is
simply being worthy of respect so
everyone that is worthy of respect is
dignified big dignified is also someone
or something that has a mannerism to
them that pushes people or the
environment to actually treat them with
respect so what are we here for in every
Kingdom there’s always someone that
differentiates themselves from the
others in the jungle the lion is the
king of the jungle why is the lion the
king of the jungle it’s because it has a
particularly to him it is because we are
particular and it’s because we’re unique
that we are worthy of respect so I would
like you to help me tell your neighbor
you are worthy of respect can you say
that a little louder can you be a little
free and tell your neighbor you are
worthy of respect and say that with say
that with all your strength I want you
to hear say louder and with assurance
so everyone here everyone in the world
is potentially worthy of respect but the
other side of the coin is that you can
only be respected as I said because your
particular you you cannot be respected
if you’re not unique or you’re not
particular it is because I said the lion
is the king of the jungle that he is
respected now I know in this jungle that
we call world
we’re not Alliance but each and every
animal in the kingdom is respected in
their own different manner that means
that you can be respected in your own
different manner you don’t have to be a
lion to be respected
you can be an ant and be respected in
your kingdom so I’m very young you can
tell but I’ve been through a lot in my
life and I’ve learned something very
particular about dignity
I learned that dignity can only be there
and that’s my subject for today dayr
dignified what do I mean by dare
dignified dare dignified simply means
daring to try the beauty of dignity
daring to try being worthy of respect
like I said dignity is available to all
of us but only those who dare dignity
can be dignified so I’m gonna be
introducing to you four things that I
like to call the four dares to dare
dignified can you just say with me four
dares to dare dignified okay so I just
want to make sure that my slide is
working awesome so the four dares to
dare dignified the first dare you need
to know is to dare to know so I was born
in a family the eldest of four girls and
I was a very very talkative little girl
at the age of three I went to a foreign
country where people were speaking in
English so very rapidly I went in my
shell because I did not understand the
language I did not understand the
culture and then I was given the title
of team meat so I went on three years
old four five six seven
till my my teenage years thinking that I
was timid I let my environment and the
people around me define who I was but
very luckily I was born in a family
where I have a queen as a mother and she
did every single thing to make me
understand that who I was
wasn’t my environment but it was in
found inside of me so as I was saying I
was very talkative I became very timid
and very quickly I started going back
into my shell I did like people I did
like talking and all that went with that
but then I understood that I was not
timid as people thought I was or people
made me to believe I was so my mom
started pushing me she would let me sing
make us sing with my sisters in the
living rooms then I started singing at
church then I want to do speeches then I
started singing at weddings and events
writing poetry I started doing speeches
at university so I went from being the
teammate girl to the girl that can stand
up in front of you today and actually
make a speech why because there was
someone that taught me that I had to
dare to know myself I want you to dare
to know yourself in this morning it is
very important peers are the first
people that make us understand who we
are but they don’t define who we are the
real answers to the questions of our
identity are only found on the inside of
us people can try to tell us who we are
but we are the only ones to know who we
really are
so my second my second dare would be
that’s me so the little timid girl
so my second dare is to stare to stand
in your doubt so I know you hear the
word doubt and you’re all going around
like but doubt is such a negative thing
well well well well I want to change
your perspective on doubt doubt is not
only a negative thing doubt can also be
seen
positively we have been taught that
there the doubt is negative and we
should see it like in a very bad way but
I want to change your perspective on
doubt and to actually maybe a little bit
make you see the word doubt as an
opportunity to learn who you are it is
when you doubt about something that you
actually get to ask yourself the real
questions about that thing it is when
you doubt about something that you
actually get to the real light of what
that thing is so that is not a negative
thing in itself doubt is what you make
it to be I like to say that doubt is not
a void it’s not an emptiness we usually
think that when we are doubting that
we’re going to throw ourselves into the
empty air but that is actually or soil
that we could use to further who we
really are the other thing that is not
doubt is not an opportunity for us to
fail but that is actually a door for us
to find the answers of the real
questions we’re asking ourselves so I
want you to take doubt as an opportunity
for you to discover who you really are
and I’m saying this again do not turn
around doubt but stand in your doubt
because it’s only when you stand in your
doubt that you actually get to have the
answers to the real questions that
you’re asking yourself so point one dare
to no point to dare to stand in your
doubt what is 0.3 the third dare that I
would like to introduce to you can you
maybe after Darren to know yourself and
not after daring to stand in your doubt
what do you think the next step is I’ll
take it from there
so after daring to doubt and after
daring to discover yourself I would dare
you to stand out but be in so what do I
mean by daring to stand out but being in
it is a very simple concept we are
usually thought that when you’re
surrounded by people it is not a very
good opportunity for you to shine so we
have kind of like developed a certain
mentality of being alone is the best way
to succeed this morning I just want to
kill that mentality for you I want us to
know that standing alone doesn’t make us
different it’s actually standing in
something that makes us different it is
only when you’re part of a group that
you can stand out how do you stand out
how do you stand out of nothing it is
because you’re part of a family that you
can stand out of the family it is
because you’re part of a culture that
you can stand out of the culture it is
because you’re part of a country that
you can stand out of a country we move
the country remove the culture remove
the family you’re not standing out of
anything you’re just standing so you
have to be in to stand out so I’m gonna
tell you a little story my first year of
university I was in a college I am in a
new university where it was 99% of white
people and I was part of the 1% so the
little African that I am in this new
world
discovering the
obviously I already stand out my skin
but I stood out with my skin but my mind
was still not standing out even though I
what my doubts were and I stood in my
doubts to actually get the answers of
the questions that I was really asking
myself I remember one of my first
projects because I’m an interior design
major so we usually had presentations
like every single week we displayed all
our projects and my professor told me
unis um so where’s your project in all
of this and I can sit somewhere there
and she’s like I don’t see it and I’m
like how do you want to see it it’s part
of the group and she’s like I am
supposed to pinpoint your project from
afar because of your uniqueness and
because of your particular ID you
already have an advantage from the
others because you come from a different
culture why not use that in your
advantage why are you trying to blend in
I was like girl thank you thank you
because I thought that well of course I
know myself on this on that and no no no
but then how do I put this like you know
into perspective here knowing yourself
is not enough standing in your doubt is
not enough you also need to pinpoint
your particularities and your uniqueness
to be different because a lot of us nor
self and we also know who we are and who
we aren’t but then the thing is do we
use what we know efficiently do we use
what we know about ourselves efficiently
why would you know who you are why would
you stand in your doubt why would you
want to stand out and then just
then there take your particularly take
your uniqueness and move forward with it
but then comes my forth their daring to
be the better version of yourself so I
know we’ve heard this ten million times
be the better you be the better you be
the better be the better you okay so
that’s a song we hear a lot what then
being the better you isn’t really the
song we hear every time it isn’t about
changing who you are being the better
you is getting the you you are now to
actually reach the real you that’s
inside of you so basically it’s a little
bit like this
this is the core you and this mess
around you’re not trying to change the
inside you’re trying to arrange the
outside so that the inside can shine out
that is being the better you so they
better you actually equals to standing
in your yesterday and looking at who
you’re supposed to be tomorrow and
building the bridge closing the gap of
who you’re supposed to be it’s creating
fiction friction between who you were
yesterday and what tomorrow knows you’re
supposed to be that is being the better
you being the better you is deciding
each and every day not to let die what
is in the core of you but to let it
shine out being the better you is not
changing who you really are
it’s becoming who you really are so I
want to finish my speech by saying three
the first thing is that I dare you to be
the dignified you the second thing is I
dare you
please be worthy of respect the third
thing is I dare you to be the better
version of you to honor the person that
you really are and the person that you
are really meant to be thank you [Applause]
everyone is worthy to be dignified but
what does dignified actually mean you’re
