How Long Hair Changed My Life | Mannat Malhi | TEDxOxford

So how did long hair change my life? Well it prompted me to think about why we spend so much time thinking about our identities. We all want to be seen as a complex and nuanced individual and yet this is denied to some in our communities who express their religious beliefs in an obvious manner. As a Sikh woman with long hair, this talk addresses how I came to accept my own identity and my pursuit for others to embrace me too. Ultimately, equality is about perceiving all humans as individuals whose goals, ambitions and personalities are intricate and irreducible.

Mannat is a second year law student at Wadham College, Oxford University. She incorporates the quote "to define is to limit" in all aspects of her life whether it be from her quirky shoe collection to her passion for women's rights and racial equality.
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
