TEDxPonceyHighland presents: Unearth 2019

Welcome to TEDxPonceyHighland’s inaugural event – UNEARTH 2019! Our mission is to establish a platform for those sectors of the population that need spaces for their voices to be heard. This encompasses people who come from grassroots beginnings, from less-acknowledged places, difficult life experiences, or transitional spaces – such as people just out of college or graduate school, freshly stepping into the work force, working for brand-new start-ups, or who are part of programs that offer opportunities to people with lack of accessibility: refugees, immigrants, LGBTQ+, minorities, lower SES and likewise. Given today’s political climate, along with the localized population growth spurt Atlanta has been experiencing, we think it’s more important than ever for overlooked voices to be heard and understood. Let’s open the gateway for challenging conversations in order to strengthen who we are as a community.
