In this straightforward talk, educator Donna Dukes paints the picture of what life is like for critically at-risk youth - those living with almost unimaginable circumstances - and tells us why we as a society need to think about and provide for them.
Donna Duke’s life goal is simple: to help critically at-risk youth and adults turn their lives around and become productive members of society.
An educator with a calling, Donna is the Founder and Executive Director of
the Maranathan Academy, whose mission is to help critically at-risk youth and adults graduate from high school. She is a firm believer in the importance of education, service, and academic achievement.
Donna is also a filmmaker, and has made the award-winning documentary "Stand! Untold Stories from the Civil Rights Movement," in which civil rights leaders talk about the Selective Buying Campaign of 1962, and how members of Birmingham’s white community supported and helped their efforts.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
