America Ferrera : My identity is a superpower — not an obstacle

America Ferrera at TED2019  (transcript)
My identity is a superpower- not an obstacle
Summary
The speaker is now an actor of Hollywood, a director and an activist who believes her identity is a superpower.

However, in the past, she who was too poor Latine had brown skin had stereotypes that Hollywood actress should have beautiful hair, she shouldn't be too fat, she shouldn't be too poor, she should have expensive clothes, and of course, when people look at her, they shouldn't see her who was a such person.

She believed that a successful way was hiding those identities, though, it's wrong. When she's changed her fundamental values and beliefs with courage, when she's stopped resisting them, when she's started existing as authentic self, her dream has come to her, it took much time, though.
Stop resisting your identities that are not obstacles. Believe and go ahead.
