- 13:08Microagressions Under a Microscope | Elisha Dalmeida | TEDxJenks YouthMy Ted Talk this year will be on micro aggressions, which can be defined as “subtle discrimination.” I chose this topic because often times we fail to realize that some of the things we say or do can be harmful or micro-aggressive, so that’s what I want to educate on!
