good evening ladies and gentlemen
I’m Anna the fairest memy 17:08 social
media activist and today and today I
wanted to take you guys a little journey
back in time the Cherry Lane 30th 1933
which Mike’s the beginning the one of
history’s most crucial anti humanitarian
eras on this day the mighty year Adolf
Hitler decided to launch the Holocaust
and for those of you who don’t know what
the Holocaust is it’s basically the part
of life when Haley decided to pursue his
master plan the final solution which was
basically to exterminate the Jewish
population alongside other communities
but to be honest this is not really why
I’m here I’m here to impose a little
question how how was one man able to
murder approximately six million people
well he didn’t
his soldiers his people didn’t but I
want to tell me now that each and every
German back then hated that she was so
much a variance and let them starve and
remind them dying in gas chambers well
according to some research no that was
not the case back then they’re not in
perfect terms but things were definitely
not that bad some might say the Germans
were threatened
but again according to Holocaust
survivors even when no one was watching
the Germans wouldn’t give to a drop of
water well in order for Hitler to do
such thing
he used a power he used the power of
stronger the left weapons or even fear
he used the power of the word the power
of the winner hmm I believe all must
have heard about it where there was no
social media our friends
the famous sentence watch your language
because he always might bring someone
down wells could do way more than this
words could kill for example all the
genes that had a life taken away a
couple of months ago thanks to the power
of the word where it could take you up
to the sky or it down to the lowest
point did it at sea yeah but again this
is not one here I need to discuss a form
of the power of the word it is something
have quite the experience with bullying
when I was well as long as I can
remember I was fat and I was buried a
lot for being fat people would make fun
of me call me names make jokes about me
rah blah blah we know how it goes until
the age of 15 when I decided that it’s
about time to change a to lose weight I
need to become this figure they want me
to be and I did at the age of 15 I had a
gastric sleeve surgery I lost a lot of
weight and and I became this figure
they’ve always wanted me to be sorry I
didn’t know if we got might not forget
my talk I just I just don’t really wanna
do it my apologies to the awesome TEDx
team that help you compose this talk but
I just think that it’s about time for
someone to tell the truth I really think
of all these lies that are being told on
social media and television hmm okay I
need to just ii think about this okay
okay mr. used to be continued right
after this very short experiments can I
this has nuclear Lambada – okay I want
you to face the audience now I want you
to move unless you feel any source of
force or power moving you I barely
touched you I okay I’m gonna try a much
stronger power face the audience and
they’ll move on a sassy a source of
force or power no you idiot you look so
ugly why are you wearing I can’t even
look at you’re so disgusting oh my god
oh my god please go away
okay thank you so much thank you so much
[Applause]
that was weird
mm apparently Nadine has throw some sort
of an immunity to the power of the word
anyways back to my story as I said I
lost a lot of weight I became this
figure that I feel I became the filler
but they have always wanted me to be
announced operate you guys expect me to
tell you that the bullying has stopped
and now I’m an activist against bullying
and I inspire people to lose weight and
be more healthy No life is not a Disney
movie that was not the case for me when
I lost weight the bully never stopped we
kept making fun of me to kept fighting
my ways to make fun of me and make me
feel bad about myself and their words
hurting me just as much as they did
before
it smelled like razor blades cutting
down my throat
so that day I was walking around my
house into my room and I just danced
that myself at the mirror
I had this very cinematic a little bit
overdramatic stare and I just wondered
why my god
why am I not pretty why am I not normal
why am i got average why am I not
beautiful why am i got accepted if it
came to me that I was always beautiful I
always thought of myself as beautiful
when I was away but I always thought of
realized there is no such thing as the
these mean things and easily put in
water and they were begging it took me
some time to realize it but eventually I
came to understand but it was never the
power of the word but this whole time
there is actually the power of our minds
this whole time was the weakness and the
core dependence of our minds as much as
I would’ve loved to come up on stage and
talk about how bullying ruins people’s
lives and I should be putting laws
against building and pretend just like
everyone else that the problem is with
the police but I just couldn’t it just
feels like an obligation it feels like
it’s my duty to tell you guys that’s
your biggest and the most powerful
Bailey is that just your mind I think
it’s about time to break down this
experiment why didn’t I do not care
about the things I told her even though
I used the same exact words used to
bully people the same exact words that
make people commit suicide I’ll tell you
why she didn’t care because her mind
thought oh this is just an experiment
these words are not true these words
mean
nothing the night should be ever mean
anything you see me right you’re gonna
have to so many different people with so
many different porn movies of you looks
on your lifestyle and every time you
feel like the words are getting to me
every time you feel like the words are
bringing you down I want to remember
something that it’s your mind making the
word meaningful in this in mind that
could make the words meaningless it is
your mind that could make you look at
yourself at the mirror and just hate
yourself and it is your mind that could
make you look at yourself a veneer well
you same is that article the same is
that time the same is that mirror and
just love yourself we each have an
individual mind that functions in its
own unique way we can’t all just have
one normal and a beauty standard one
video in golden an example to follow the
same time you had the chance to get up
and do something we had the chance to
get up and change the reality that I set
upon us but every time you choose not to
which is to sit back and believe the
lies they tell us which is to sit back
and which is to sit back and believe the
lies that they tell us which is to sit
back and not do anything about it we’re
not victims of society no we are victims
of our minds our thoughts and our
feelings and honestly I’m done playing
victim I am done Benny society from the
pain and suffering that I’ve went
through I am done damage everyone around
me from VP that would Larry
my eyes cuz it’s human nature it’s what
we do they just can’t accept different
but does that mean that we shouldn’t be
no they could be anything be one before
finish this I’ll try two more things
when what it’s explained to us what is a
word what is the super powerful being
they were also afraid of a word as a
form of speech it happens when we talk
when we talk if you could call a
vibrator and this vibration will go out
to the air like wave like pinkies into
someone else’s ear and someday ear
the vibrations will go up to their being
and the brain is in a processor and it’s
gonna give you the final resolution
which is a word as we know it and
another word for the brain is a mind so
eventually he was never the power of the
mother the word the story time ways were
just the catalyst for the mites function
– I want to challenge you guys I
actually challenge your minds into
accepting the reality that you you are
they need the mask the society has first
your face under the real human is
actually beautiful well yourself because
they’re really really really sorry to
say it but if you don’t then why would
anyone and thank you [Applause]
