Privilege and embracing it for good | Kelsea Walsh | TEDxHECParis

Having been jolted into the reality of her own privilege, Kelsea Walsh shares with us how privilege can be discovered, lost, and most importantly - shared. Kelsea Walsh is from Canada and has lived in France, Vietnam, and China. She pursued an undergraduate degree in politics and international studies at the University of Ottawa in Canada before coming to HEC Paris. She has travelled extensively, observing environmental innovation and learning about inequalities all over the world. It is through travel and further study that Kelsea is exploring the power dynamics in leadership.
Having observed the major chasm in social justice between Vietnam and Canada three years ago, Kelsea became motivated to help drive change towards our sustainable future. Her passion initially started with environmental justice, and expanded to social justice after realizing the interconnectivity of leadership, social structures and governance, and business. Her talk focuses on our acknowledgement of privilege and power, and learning to use this step by step to find meaningful connection, in order to create change. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
