I’ve been devoting my morning and evening commutes to catching up with TEDTalks, which had been languishing since last autumn. Yesterday and today I was simply blown away by three in succession.
- George Ayittey: fire and brimstone
- Patrick Awuah: learning and leadership
- Chris Abani: laughter and hope
Of course, to call them African is to miss the point. Two Ghanaians and a Nigerian. An Ibo and two -- what? Three fine, passionate, inspiring, wonderful speakers.
The intertubes are so, so wonderful. And there’s lots more about those three and everyone else at the TED site.
