Mohezin Tejani, an Indian-Shia Muslim by ancestry, is a political refugee from Idi Amin's Uganda and an award-winning writer. Liberated from the confines of his own culture by political realities, he set out at the age of twenty-one to learn how to be rooted in the absence of a place to call home. Over the next three decades on the road, he worked with humanitarian agencies, learned a slew of languages, became a cross-cultural trainer, an impromptu comedian, and a great campfire storyteller. Through his writings—a bhangra dance across time and space—he deftly explores both geographical and psychological displacement. Yet it is precisely through such disorientation and a host of intercultural encounters that he has come to value and share with others what it means to be a global nomad. Mo currently resides in Chiang Mai, Thailand. For more information visit [ Ссылка ]
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
