The outsider's guide to finding your creative voice | Shappi Khorsandi | TEDxAylesbury

Shappi Khorsandi's presence becomes electric when she combines her wit and charm with an edgy insightfulness. Shappi speaks here about the pursuit of her satirist father by a death squad for criticizing the then-Iranian regime. In London, the family's place of exile, the schoolgirl Shappi felt like a bewildered, speechless outsider. But was it that experience of being a misfit that sparked Shappi's creativity till she found her unique and captivating voice?

Shappi Khorsandi's razor-sharp wit made her an Edinburgh Fringe sell-out. She’s also a serious, sought-after cultural commentator, appearing on BBC’s Question Time, the Open University, Woman’s Hour, The Guardian and the World Service - when she isn’t performing on five continents.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
