Tus raíces, mi visión. | Nanná Soenya | TEDxBarriodelaEstacion


welcome aboard the eyes station

they get up and they reach someone who

is close that you still do not know yes and

that you give a compliment to something that

you watch him or her please

very good

thanks for pleasing me now from very

young I knew I was going to dedicate my

life to help people in some way

another and although my adolescence was something

turbulent you at 23 I gave myself

I realized that my biggest wish was for

help other people in a way

significant and this took me about

four years later to be in the

Mexico City as a volunteer in a

organization called coalition

against the trafficking of women and children

when I arrived in the city of mexico

had a quality reception even in the

Zócalo streets had people arriving

to me saying welcome to mexico

welcome to mexico and I affirm myself and month

made me feel like a part and that my

reason for being here was a good

now I was born and like everyone in the

republic of ghana a beautiful country in

the west of the African continent and the

true that sometimes walking the

Mexican republic

I have many memories of my country of my

native land

these are pictures of the city of accra

ghana am I have traveled to 16 countries and has

lived in 11 of them although the majority

of my life was lived in london

england and in my travels I have learned

many things one of the things that I

I was able to do in almost all places

where he lived was to build family no no

I had my family with me in a suitcase

but I made family with my

workers with those in the cafeteria

with those of the barium with my neighbors with

even the police there because

I am very very very talkative to like

talk with everyone and this has

carried that in many countries

the world I know that I have people with

who can I count

I know they are always there and here

they are in my heart and I am in

contact with them constantly now

36 years nine months and 29 days after

of my birth

here I am in the center of the

Mexican Republic about to share

with you something with everything from me I hope

who inspires me is for me

to get here was a single build

family and I arrived here

aguascalientes three years ago three

months and 32 days

I like to tell the maximum the

not much math but I love

tell where you will hear some

numbers over there and when I arrived there

I knew no one person

just like when I arrived in Mexico the

first time I arrive like this at random

I go to and here I had contact

go with my family with me

welcomed for the first 56 days of

my stay here but really not

I knew nobody and I started to know

people and unfortunately the reception

that I received was not as good as the

from the city ​​of mexico

now when I was working with the

coalition

I learned some things from very few weeks

of having been that children and

girls from mexico were being cold and

violently attacked abused

mistreated and killed and there are a few days and

weeks later

I knew that I was going to dedicate my life to

help these children and consequently

hope to help improve this

country then when I got here not

I had this reception

it caused me a little trauma because

I thought and arrived to help the

Mexicans because they do not welcome me well and

I had to do one thing a few things I had

to re-evaluate my goals

reasons for being here I had to start

to simplify the dialogues within

me within all the guidance that is

happening and with other people

I had to stay open to a new

view

considering that I was dealing with

people who were not used to

deal with me and I had to continue

constantly working on me and on me

environment in order to achieve what was the

that is my goal

and I tell you because I think I have achieved

a first phase of my goal to build

a big family and I tell them the family

who wants to build consists of 100

boys and girls

there they are not and me but it ‘s a picture am

and 100 boys and girls that I want to what

long of my life having adopted together

with my husband

how can I achieve this I am like

founder of an organization that

we have a job that did not consider

honorable rather it is necessary and for

to be able to do our job well we have

than to assess exactly what it is

our cause

we have to simplify our

processes as far as understanding

Legislation of guidelines and forms

that you have to work here we have

that was open to new visions

when we face challenges that are

difficult to overcome and we have to

work constantly innovating and

creating to be able to find results

and amd and ways that are effective and real

towards the problems that we are

facing and for that I do the same

with those who collaborate with me are my

team but I prefer to say that they are the

who collaborate with me

we make these same four things

we evaluate simplify we have new

vision and we also work

constantly

and this has created an environment that I can

call productive and effective honest

warm and really direct and has created

a family of training

I know that each person who collaborates

with me he collaborates because he feels part

from this family member of our

organization must fiscal ects and this I

It gives me a lot in it and it gives me a lot

inspiration to keep working for

the improvement of this country

I love Mexico, do not ask me if I love

food or something else

I love him in his integrity and love is

strong and and it’s inexplicable

however, there it is and it moves me and

It has moved me to know that I am going to give my

life to see the best I can

especially for children and

girls in this country and in my work I

realized that there are many opportunities

for improvement in this country and instead of

talk about the problems are the challenges

I want to focus on what we can do

to be able to change what they have heard

of the saying is the change you want to see

in the world

yes the gang yes good what really

said gandhi was if we could change

ourselves

the world trends too

would change when a man changes his

own nature

it also changes the attitude of the world

towards him

we do not need to wait to see what

do the others and this

ladies and gentlemen is my wish and it is my

vision for mexico now in mexico

there are some things that we know that

they need to improve and for me the source

of law in Mexico is the custom

there are things that have been done and done and

then it legitimizes processes

thought

two forms and languages that are not

beneficial for evolution and

improvement of this country and we what

we know but how can we change it

I believe fervently in Mexico and

fervently in aguascalientes

although many people in aguascalientes do not

believe in me is fine is part of

part of that pioneer is part of the cost

and I take responsibility

responsibility because I believe and I love

Mexico

Now I have four points that I want

share with you that I hope that

it helps that we can start the

change where it is needed most

inside ourselves

it could be that they had heard it is the

critical revaluation we have to be

honest with ourselves and have

this conversation that we get to see

where are we and what do I know if

achieved a lot but there’s a lot more that

do and this is re evaluation

criticism makes us see our part as

part of the problem and from there we can

be part of the solution

if in Alcoholics Anonymous they can not

start your way to your liberation

if they do not assume with totality that they are

alcoholics and we have to

assume with totality that in some

things are part of the problem for

to be able to know how to become a part

of the solution

simplification we have to simplify

our dialogues our ways all

what we do in terms of collaboration and

work with each other that is not touch

it’s interesting if you look a

Moment is funny and it does not just happen

here happens in other places that is there

different ways of reaching solutions

and in my work and with other people and

sometimes seeing in Mexico we find

that we have a problem

and I include myself with the mexicanas is not a

problem and we ended up having ten

more problems instead of the solution

so it’s important that we start

learn how to simplify our

ways of working because this is going to

help us a lot

we are also used to ideas

simple

we all work with simple ideas

So if we can start

simplify the ways to face

goals problems and challenges

let’s find that inside of us

we will be able to find the

solutions more effective ways more

efficient and more productive new

view

now I hope you can have

a new vision as soon as they look at a

product a problem

there is a saying that says the definition of

the madness is to do the same thing and

wait for the different result

we have to be able to get ourselves out of it

of the routine of the same thing because

that’s where we’re going to be able to find

the solutions that we have been looking for

so much time for things in our

several in our colonies of our

cities in our homes where they

It is urgent that we are open to new

vision and constant action

There is a saying in English that says work

mark not fair now I admire you

Mexicans because they work and are

workers and they work hard but

we have to start considering that

there may be other ways

effective and simpler to work

that take less time and that makes

we can do many more things with

our time and with our

capabilities

so I ask you here

considering me Mexican

considering that I’m going to spend

my life here with my family both the

workers that the 100 children led

invited and I beg you please

begin to be able to evaluate us to be able

simplify to be able to have new vision

and to be able to work smarter

and not so hard with that I give them the

thanks for listening to me days
