Finding strength in a world obsessed with size | Meta Sarmiento | TEDxMileHigh

We see it in the media, movies, television shows, and magazines – for men and boys, strength is measured by physical size. But when you’re a tiny kid from the tiny island of Guam, how do you find your place in the world? In this inspiring talk and poem, Meta Sarmiento shares about his personal journey and what it really means to be strong.
