Technology and social media have advanced remarkably. But as great as they are, can we acknowledge the cons; that the cause of a desensitized society is partially due to the easy access of violence and hatred online, as well as a lack of real community? Audio visual provided by Repertoire Productions https://repertoireproductions.com/ Porsche Kelly is a spoken word artist from Oakland, Ca. She performs gut-wrenching, heartfelt poetry in a variety of spaces and is especially passionate about social justice, including fighting against racism, sexism, and human trafficking.
She has performed at several open mics, college campuses, corporate events, conferences and churches, as well as performed in stage plays and productions. She is currently working on her first poetry book, which she hopes to release next year.
While she calls herself "The Poetic Activist", Porsche writes about an array of topics: God and faith, freedom, hope, social justice, peace, love/romance and more. Her aim is to speak truth with raw and unapologetic lyrics, inspiring others to rise up and fight for justice. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
