http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYXiegTXsEs I'm the biggest TED freak I know from my immediate circle of friends, and I stumbled upon this gem today because YouTube recommended it after I watched this particularly powerful video on women empowerment (for Brave New Voices, you can watch it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jXk3uhlhAVY).
