Ory Okolloh is not only a blogger, founder of Mzalendo.com, co-founder of Ushahidi and colleague, she is also an inspiration to all of us. Below is the video of her talk at TEDGlobal 2007 – Arusha Tanzania.
The making of an African Activist
Ory, we are sambazaing this whether you want to hide or not
The TED talks are worth every minute one spends watching them. They are IDEAS truly WORTH SPREADING.
I remember watching Andrew Mwenda’s talk on TED a while back. He was talking about ways of looking at Africa and thereby eradicating poverty. See the talk at http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/andrew_mwenda_takes_a_new_look_at_africa.html
I have just downloaded Ory Okolloh’s talk.
My congratulations to her on her efforts. My best wishes in her life, her work and her dreams.
That’s the spirit folks!
Ory Rocks!
Now that talk is a wake up call! I’ll certainly be sharing that with readers of my blog later on this week. Great blog by the way – I’ve added you to my blogroll – do let me know if you object and I’ll gladly remove it.
