Yesterday, author and scholar @DrIbram joined Cloe Shasha Brooks and me for a conversation about dismantling racism and creating a more just society. So appreciated his frank and thoughtful insight. ted.com/talks/ibram_x_…

Honored to be this week's TED Radio Hour guest and chat with Manoush Zomorodi about some of our incredible TED speakers. These talks about racial injustice are powerful on any day and the messages need to be amplified now more than ever.

This summer, our team produced a series of live convos for our TED2020 conference. I had the honor of hosting our final chat w/ activist (+ personal hero) Malala Yousafzai. She talked about girls' ed, her vision for the future + much more. Forever inspired by her. ted.com/talks/malala_y…

So wonderful to be back at #TEDWomen in Palm Springs, California with this community, our speakers, and my #TED colleagues! TED Talks TED News corey Whitney Pennington Rodgers @BriarAGoldberg Helen Walters David Biello Patmitchell Chee Pearlman Cyndi Stivers Simone Ross


The other day, Maria Van Kerkhove spoke with Whitney Pennington Rodgers at TEDWomen 2021. I found it moving, deep, and raw at times. Here you go: ted.com/talks/maria_va… Thank you TED Talks!

Excellent TED Talks conversation with Maria Van Kerkhove moderated by Whitney Pennington Rodgers. I hope 'never again' will be inspiration for many to invest in preparedness to protect the world from future pandemics. #ProudToBeWHO go.ted.com/mariavankerkho…
