El poder de mi historia. | MaryAngel GarciaRamos Guadiana | TEDxUANL


[Applause]
sometimes
I like to think that’s what you think
the aliens
that is to say if it exists in these beings
that can see us from above that is
what they would think of the experience
human of our stories
I imagine and I would be a father who
had as a computer appointment and in
that computer they had like videos in
those who divided them into folders
of our experiences for example
births of people
or marriage proposals in cigars
videos or weddings and maybe divided
by culture or countries not because they are very
different
or do not know moments of glory and maybe
a football championship or the end of a
River War on a wall
a moment of ecstasy super father when
are you watching your favorite artist or what
better also because it may have a
folder of the difficult moments
of the human, not like when a
person
when we have this process of mourning
we have a disease
and think how all these folders are
makes me
how it hits my mind to think that
maybe for them to understand
supposing that they may understand
it would be very difficult to understand that being a
human person not
because there is not a person who has a
history equal to the other specifically
because we are all completely
different from each other not
but despite these stories so
different I think there is a factor that
all human beings intersect us
and that is the sense of belonging all
absolutely we are all looking
belong to feel that you are part of something
or that something represents you
and belong to a couple to a family
to a group that may have your own
beliefs or religion or not be co2 billion
that belongs to us millions
I do not know maybe like maybe the one
belong to someone who hates someone
just like you do not and I think that
unconsciously like our
individual stories we want to do
this match put them together with another person
to feel that we are part of something not
within this human experience
there are so many different stories
that we sometimes believe that there are two
classes of people the people who have
how are you mega sensational stories
glorious fantastic the mandalas
Ronaldos Christians and Mark Zuckerberg
of the world not the people who have those
stories that everyone does not touch and
on the other hand
Well, the people that we are here throwing
you do not want
and it makes me think about the power of
where is the power of a story
Y
maybe you can believe that the
people that we are here today
you are on that side putting us
attention and maybe all of us who are
on this side it could be that
we belonged to that group, not that group
of wonderful stories not just
for the fact that we are here and you
have
and I believe otherwise
and to prove this point I’m going to
use my personal story as a
example that there is as a case so
say it case study
to show that maybe it’s not that
there are two kinds of people
if you see me
if they have this ability to see me
and if I do not describe it, I am a person
woman who has a motor disability
and I’m sitting instead of standing
in front of you telling you a
history
and maybe you can believe that because I have
a disability
it may happen that maybe I’m going to
tell a very strong story of a
drama in which I have a disability
then I will tell you how it is that
I went ahead and in the end everyone goes to
come out super inspired thinking that I
I am a great example of life not
Well, no
The truth is, no
the power of my individual history does not
falls on my disability because my
disability is a context and I am
using the disability theme because it’s the
I can talk right now and I have other
contexts besides this not like all
then this is for the example
I sometimes like I told you right now
We believe that when a story is
great and sensational and it’s because people
that has a lot of followers in
instagram or because they earn the Nobel Prize
those are the incredible stories not
and there has to be something dramatic
that what makes it explode and in my case
the truth is that I found the power of
my individual story in my life
everyday on any given day
I have not been a person that I have a
disability to acquire
disability for 19 years
and since the acquired was not until
nine years later suddenly one day in
my normal everyday life every day
it turns out that my favorite band comes to the
city ​​for the first time
the killers and I always say that the
killers changed my life the murube makes a
book eventually after that
but one day they do not come to Monterrey
and it turns out that I want to see them
for my context of not walking because I do not
had the same opportunities as other
people to be ahead and that
brandon flowers will sing to me and sweat me
fell on the face not
so for me that was a very problem
big and we can think that maybe
a problem a problem of a girl with
privilege and if we compare it to the
big problems of the world because I do not know
compares at all is not nothing
but for me this life situation
he caused a fire to ignite and something
inside me that maybe there was not
never felt because it was the first time
that I was attentive
with the first time I realized that
there were people with a situation like
mine they could not see brandon
flowers just because
they did not consider you profitable because they did not
it was important to nobody and if not
walked just like that is what there is and
if you want not to be a tiny reflection
of what was in a society that did not
it gave you the same opportunities
simply because your context and there I
I speak in my context of having a
disability but there are contexts
different socioeconomic and others that
for that context society as
we are trained does not give you those
opportunities
and something so profound comes from not being able to see
to my favorite artist that simple in
my daily life does not
Y
what came out of that after that
I ended up being in a youth parliament
in the state congress moving the
laws for the rights of people
with disability
and a time when I talked and the
people stopped to applaud me super strong
as well as if I had said the speech
of the life
and in that moment I realized something
that my voice has a huge power
and not because people if I’m going to stop for
applaud less but because I so
I decided because one person who had
privilege that in the end I do not
I am the first person with
disability in this country and much less
as a woman because I had the opportunity
to study of having a car to have
light gas water
but this power I decided
what is the difference between
and I from that moment to me right now
not if I advance after ten years of
that moment of having seen the killers
for the first time today I never
I would have imagined that I would be
here in my lecture ted telling you
using my ideas and what I think of
the stories of the people and how
we are connected, I would not have
never imagined that last year I
I would have played representing society
Mexican civil society at the convention of the
rights of people with
Disability at the UN in New York and
I would not have imagined here or found a
movement of Mexican women with
disability to be able to fight for what
that nobody speaks to give voice to the
women who have been violated and who
they are not given educational opportunities
simply because of its context, neither
very well imagined that he would be
directing diversity and inclusion in
tec de monterrey nationwide
doing and fighting for the inclusion of
all people not only people
with disability then
the power of my story
was not on my disability my
capabilities I just put them on if
there are a billion people who have
disability in the world is nothing
special I promise I should not even
to be like something strange
it does not make me special simply by the
made of having it but because it was a
cart that I uploaded the context to
get somewhere else
the difference between the stories
incredible and huge is not in that
have to spend something super dramatic and
that you have to have a disability is
of a social activist so that you
story be incredible not the mandalas
Christian ronaldo if Mark Zuckerberg’s
world what they had in common is that they were
individual stories that
they turned into collective stories
then the power of history the
true power of your story is
when you find that power in
collective understanding
because you are here not and that simply
that true power is your purpose with
you understand and it’s not easy why
do what you do
why every day at every moment of your
life has a meaning at this time
you realize the enormously magnificent power
who can have your story and not
you necessarily have to have 5
million followers somewhere not
and what a father you have because
it means that you have a platform
much bigger to reach you more
people by independently the power
It’s not that I’m here, you there
down
I really believe that really
absolutely all the stories all
completely if all that being
here they all have incredible power
and all the stories have the power to
transform
as long as we make sure
turn them into stories that touch and you
intertwine with those of other humans and
that therefore you end up doing things
great that reach other people and
you find your purpose thank you very much
