Embracing the Fluidity of Culture and Identity | Bolu Adewumi | TEDxWarwick Salon [Video]

Bolu has successfully navigated through identity confusion by self-discovery and accepting the ambiguous conditions of being a third-culture kid. Bolu’s TEDxWarwick talk: ‘Embracing the Fluidity of Culture and Identity’, encourages the idea that each individual is more than just their ethnic makeup or culture. She talks about the pressure to submit to ethnic trends out of a desire to establish a strong identity. Bolu is a second year International Management student at the University of Warwick who finds expression through various artistic mediums such as dance, musical instruments, and crocheting. Bolu aims to foster a sense of community and understanding, by exploring common ground that unites individuals through the complexity of their modern day struggles. 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
