Want to Give a TEDx Talk? Come Meet the People Who Just Did.
The Talks Are Dropping: Two Ways to Celebrate TEDx Third Ward’s Third and Final Cohort, and what's next.
We are excited to share that TED has begun releasing talks from the third cohort of TEDx Third Ward this week.
There are two ways to celebrate these speakers, experience their ideas and get more involved:
1. Join us for the TEDx Third Ward Closeout Mixer
Come grab a drink, enjoy the music and make some meaningful connections as we celebrate this cohort.
You will meet people who have stepped onto the red dot, hear about their experiences and get honest answers to your questions about developing an idea, preparing a talk and taking the TEDx stage.
Sunday, September 13
4:00–7:00 p.m.
The Mood Room Garden and Bar
2. Attend a Virtual Watch Party
Five members of this cohort are hosting virtual watch parties where you can experience their talks together and stay for a live conversation with the speaker.
Karla F. West: “You Might Be a Racist”
Karla challenges us to look beyond the labels we reject and examine the snap judgments, private language and subtle behaviors that may keep racism alive. Join her for an honest conversation about the role each of us may play in sustaining the problems we say we oppose.

Dr. Christopher Loo: “Why AI Will End the Attention Economy”
Dr. Loo explores how artificial intelligence is changing the way people are discovered, trusted and rewarded. His talk asks what happens when followers, likes and virality are no longer the primary measures of influence.
Monday, September 7 at 6:00 p.m. CT
Dr. Sharita E. Warfield: “The Standing Ovation She Never Should Have Gotten”
Dr. Sharita challenges the way we applaud women for pushing through exhaustion while ignoring the physical, emotional and personal cost. This conversation asks us to redefine strength without requiring women to sacrifice their health, identity or joy.
Wednesday, September 16 at 6:00 p.m. CT
Rita Stevens: “What If ICU Meant I See You?”
After one missed moment changed her son’s life forever, Rita began asking what becomes possible when we slow down, listen and truly see the person in front of us. Her talk is a powerful reminder that presence and acknowledgment can change the direction of a life.
Thursday, September 17 at 6:00 p.m. CT
Lemar Marie Brown: “The Joy of Brown Eyes”
Lemar challenges the stories we tell about adoption and asks us to consider the children who are already waiting for permanent homes. Her talk is about foster care, family and the extraordinary love that can transform two lives at once.
Tuesday, September 29 at 6:00 p.m. CT
Whether you join us in person, attend a virtual watch party or participate in both, we hope you will help us celebrate these speakers and the ideas they are bringing into the world.
The talk may last only a few minutes. The conversation it begins can last much longer.
