South Los Angeles to South Africa: The Physics of Changemaking | Autumn Williams | TEDxCrenshaw

Fired up! Ready to Go! From being an Engineer to Founder & Executive Director of a school in South Africa. Autumn discusses changing the narrative of how children are educated on the African continent. Autumn is a Stanford Aeronautics & Astronautics graduate. The only Black woman in her cohort, Autumn founded STEMgineers, a STEM-focused, Watts-based afterschool program that scaled to three cities. Frustrated with the perception of her home as merely a recipient of solutions, she adapted her community organizing & academic curricula for communities in Haiti, India, & South Africa.
Autumn is E.D. of African School for Excellence. ASE offers a world class education that is affordable enough for families who earn $6/day. She has shared her work as a storyteller at venues including The Aspen Institute, Georgetown, & the Smithsonian Institution. 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
