- Maryam tells a personal story about how showing kindness lead to an
understanding of what Diversity and
Inclusion really means. She states, "The way I dress shouldn't matter how people view me in the world. Instead, we should be judged by our actions and character."
Maryam Elassar is a third grader at Amana
Aacademy. She likes to play outside,
make crafts, and would love to see a world
where kids can overcome their differences.
She will connect her talk to the EL Design
Principle of Empathy and Caring by sharing
a story of how showing kindness lead to an
understanding of what Diversity and
Inclusion really means.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
You made tears roll down my cheeks; thank you for such a great job presenting diversity!
I teach at this school. Maryam and other students at Amana make me proud to be an educator .
What a wonderful story by this impressive young girl. Her soothing, confident voice and the way she gestured with her hands makes it look like she has been giving speeches like this for years. She clearly has a good heart. Anyone would do well to listen to this short talk from her.
She is so cute 🥰😘💖
Uhmm I’m Muslim
I love this girl and this video.
Such a great job! Makes me happy to see young girls being so confident this way.
Lol this girl made us work to do in school she should not upload videos like this😩

I am 40, but I still like to hear and learn from children's speech.
Such a girl make me happy 😁 to see young girl being so. Confident
Some PATHETIC Ignorance in the comments
truly saddens me .
A long time ago and lead a team of men doing a windows upgrade. We were all contractors at a massively huge company. I did NOT care that one was blue, one was orange, or one was handi capped. I did care the man gave me their best which was a new attitude for them. How we bonded was by talking about our grandmothers and how kind these women were to us and the shared experience. Also, sports, namely American football. I am fortunately that was raised by beatnicks so I was taught give people a chance to reveal themselves and they will.
I enjoyed her attitude. I am blessed to work in a hospital where everyone is the color of the rainbow.
so sorry, but only in a western society she can say what she is saying.
No. Not at all. Also it's Western Societies that need it the most.

Thank you for reminds us the basic of friendship, Maryam. Really love your talk ❤
Wonderful speech Maryam
great talk!
Friendship is a nice thing. No governments should force friendships or anything else upon its nation.
However, Herbert Spencer, a political theorist and philosopher, was opposed to intermarriage between Westerners and people from other cultures, notably the Japanese. He argued that mixing "DIVERGENT VARIETIES" of people from "divergent modes of life" would produce people who were "ADAPTED TO NEITHER". He said that immigration in general, and immigration in America in particular, would eventually give rise to "IMMENSE SOCIAL MISCHIEF and SOCIAL DISORGANIZATION". And haven't we all seen this in America.
se que aqui alguien entiende español pero esta hablando sobre que no tenemos que diferenciar a los otros o juzgarlos por sus gustos
I love the poem she read so much! Anyone who knows it, can you tell me where to find the full poem?

Yes, I'm going to take advice about living in a multicultural cesspool from someone who comes from a monocultural theology.
Do you take your ideology from the KKK's website? We think it's funny an adult is trying to give a child racist advice on a video fighting that exact thing. Take your xenophobic, racist comments elsewhere. Thank you.

Is it painful being a useful idiot all the time?
+Andy Eccentric It's painful living around people like you who think their wit is enough to give them a sense of superiority over an 8 year old that's already surpassed them in mental intelligence.
Alaa Elassar that 8 year old probably gets beat by her 40 year old husband. I'm not judging their cultural practices - just sayin'.
She's my sister. Not judging your cultural practices but wherever you come from must've taught you to be a close minded idiot because no one else would comment something so insensitive and disgusting.
A muslim talking about diversity??? Lol..
-_- isn't that rude?
You comment is rude btw.
In a world ruled my Muslims, the best that the rest of us can hope for is to be allowed to pay protection money, per verse 9:29 in the Koran.
Anyone can tell their story about diversity. btw, that comment is RUDE.
'it's ok to be an infidel' is the new 'it's ok to be white'
This girl has beautiful voice and smarter than I thought! Clap for her!
"Impossible"to "I'm possible".💞👍🙏❤❤❤
why do you have a towel on your head?
it's easier to conceal terrorism-related implements, it seems.
Its not a towel, its a hijab, you probably dont know what a hijab is, and maybe never will.
Well if u werent such a dimwitted human, u would know wut a muslim is
@@リンゴ酢-b8g wow, if a muslim sees that message, i hope they laugh, they deserve it, but since u are just an unintelligent misguided person, im not surprised thats what u decided to respond with, very creative tho
Well it is not a towel its a hijab . she is even more beautiful with the hijab . you can never understand and next time dont judge a book by it's cover please.
Super great

THATS NOT FUNNY
Yes not funny
Is she married yet, she seems a bit too old. Go Islam !!
Um... no, what YOU need to do is have your parents stop forcing you to wear a headscarf and claim you as part of a religion you've never even heard of. Stop telling non-misogynist grownups what to do.
Um.. nobody is forcing her, she's clearly proud of it... and she's talking about her religion so not only has she heard of it but is clearly happy with it and has knowledge about it. What YOU need to do is get over your prejudice and be more human. Only petty bullies pick on kids.
mehrtanvir Um... no she was brainwashed by her misogynistic parents who like sexualizing and marking their children for a religion before she's even aware what religion is. She needed a fucking story book to tell people for her what that is, cuz she doesn't have a clue.
Xander Patten frankly it may help you to read one too as you are clearly speaking from a point of ignorance and inexplicable anger
You're assuming kids are fully in control of their choices and can make fully-informed decisions, which is false. Their brains have not developed yet. It's for this same reason that we have an age of consent in the West.
Which is assuming that adults are somehow magically bias-neutral beings who have grown out of the prejudices they grew up with / developed through limited social experience / limited knowledge / limited exposure to diversity of opinion, and also assuming that her message has no intrinsic value, regardless, and also assuming that some adults think they are smarter than kids which is anybody's guess. The age of consent in "the West"...? (correction: "we have" in the West) - O that place that "we" also know and have lived in somehow, as amazingly we are from the same planet and species... Sometimes this age falls to an incredible and dangerous low of 12 to 13 years, which research points out is also linked to commercialized children's media that has no qualms in sexualizing such young children to their detriment. Glass houses, throwing stones.
