American Stories | A. Nuñez Bastos, A. Del Guercio-Moran & M. Escobar | TEDxMiami Country Day School

Amanda, Angie, and Miguel grappled with ideas of translation, linguistics, and storytelling when they interviewed service keepers with the purpose of honoring their journeys and work. 

These three bilingual students curated an exhibit featuring portraiture, text, and translation in a moving testament to story documentation, the nuances of linguistics, and the complexities of the American Dream. 

The “Retelling of American Stories” installation includes opportunities for advocacy and service projects across the community. Born in Mexico to Cuban and Costa Rican parents, Amanda seeks to make a difference on the world around her by helping those around her realize they must celebrate all the different identities that live within.

Angelina is a first-generation American in her family and has battled with the divide and bubbles that our society has constantly created. She has a passion for equal representation and providing awareness at our school.

Ever since coming to Miami in 2018 at the age of twelve, Miguel Escobar has been trying to combat assimilation in his community through a mix of his two greatest passions: storytelling and music. 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
