Описание: Salena entered the foster care system at the age of four, where she faced racism, self-hatred, and resentment. She harbored a deep hatred for the world, and even more so for herself. At eleven, she gave her first speech and has since continued to share her story to highlight the challenges faced by Indigenous individuals within the foster system. Salena’s journey takes you from a place of hatred to one of hope and a desire to give back and effect change. Now, as the president and CEO of Community of Big Hearts, a position she assumed at 18, she shares her experiences to foster empathy and advocate for reconciliation. Her talk explores her journey to understanding her role in reconciliation, emphasizing the importance of empathy and collective effort in healing and making meaningful change. Salena Starling became the CEO of the Community of Big Hearts at 18, using her child welfare experience to advocate for foster care and Indigenous rights. She’s dedicated to empowering youth in care, developing programs that foster positive change. In 2023, Salena addressed 1500 people on truth, reconciliation, and her experiences in foster care. Her unwavering commitment to advocacy drives her to ensure every young person in care feels supported and capable of overcoming challenges. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
