Not a Melting Pot, Nor a Puzzle: Protecting a Diverse Community. | Gabriela Mendez | TEDxDelrayBeach

This talk highlights the sense of belonging as a scientifically studied fundamental human need that enriches lives but that has also been historically exploited to advance political purposes, create divisiveness, and promote hatred. The talk proposes to promote belonging in ways that value diversity, create and strengthen communities, and protect democracy. Dr. Mendez is an educator who has taught, supervised, advised, and guided students, educators, and educational leaders. As a professor and engaged member of the community, she promotes educational equity by working at NSU's Diversity and Inclusion Council, at the Hispanic Education Coalition of Palm Beach, and at the Academic Advisory Committee of the School District of Palm Beach County. Dr. Mendez believes that equitable and accesible education is a fundamental pillar of democracy. 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
