This talk was so inspirational to me, because I tend to try to explain things in a bigger perspective and it NEVER WORKS. People don't want to hear me trying to teach them about some vague concept they don't really understand, which often makes me feel like I'm not being heard. If I just tell them a story, my story, my neighbor's story, my mom's story, they might just be able to identify, and listen.
I'm in love with her metaphor about representational media waving and saying "Hi!" I've been trying to communicate that feeling and it's opposite for years and she nailed it.
Wow, this video put me to tears. I identify with it on so many levels. Thank you Desiree, thank you for sharing your storym or at least one small part of it.

She was such a bright star at this con.
God, she's so cool. I love Desiree so much. What an inspiration and a joy.
