Stigmatise Stigma | Shreya Khandelwal | TEDxNPSISSingapore

In my talk, I discuss the unwarranted stigma surrounding disability. I tackle this by exploring how stereotypical representations and ableist language have been normalised by popular movies. To delve deeper into the consequences of these representations, I navigate through the different types of stigma and their effect on people with disabilities. After which, I introduce the ‘Ripple Effect’ and how we can use it to trust our abilities, empower this community and bring about meaningful change. Shreya is an aspiring medical student fascinated by the complexity of the human body. Outside of medicine, her interests include - basketball, music, and watching movies. Her passion for healthcare has inspired her to give a speech about the unwarranted stigma surrounding disability. She hopes to tackle this by exploring the representation of disability in media, the impact of our everyday language and the steps we can take to create a more inclusive society. 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
