Embracing the Art of Storytelling Through Personal Expression | fatma AlHabib | TEDxSafat Square
The talk will explore how storytelling comes in different methods and forms through
which storytelling manifests. There isn't a single method of expression – rather, our
narratives are as varied as we are, contributing to our individuality.
Every day, individuals in our society share their stories through movement, dialogue, or
artistic expression. This act in itself is instrumental in catalyzing social change, as it
broadens perspectives and encourages individuals to discover aspects of themselves
and meaningful narratives that can inspire action.
It’s not just the act of storytelling that makes a difference, it's the discovery and sharing
of ones unique narrative style that fosters community building and cultivates a sense of
belonging. Fatemah Alhabib, Founder of Qesati, is a visionary advocate for fostering open,
creative, and unified communities. Her passion lies in creating spaces where people
can come together to explore the profound impact of communication, collaboration and
storytelling.
With over eight years of professional experience in the communications field, and a
heart dedicated to positive social change, she has worked diligently to nurture
environments where individuals can share their ideas, experiences, and perspectives
freely.
Fatemah believes that in these spaces of openness and creativity, true unity can be
forged, transcending boundaries and fostering a sense of belonging.
Fatemah was born and raised in the United Arab Emirates and holds a Bachelor’s
Degree in Mass Communication from the American University of Sharjah. 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

- 18:58Sessions 10.17.24 @ Songbirds, Part 2 | Maria Jordania (LVNDR) | TEDxChattanooga SalonFeatured songs: R&R; Little Alien Tigress of the Sun The phrase "breath of fresh air" is used often in music, but it truly captures the essence of LVNDR. She's a neo soul singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Chattanooga, Tennessee. It's only a matter of time before the world is her stage, though. After she sings a few short bars, the stark contrast between LVNDR's cyberpunk look and velvety voice seems to dissolve. She proves that these elements are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they're pieces of a much bigger vision she's bringing to life.Her debut EP Five-Letter Word offers a glimpse of what's to come, fusing spontaneous ideas refined during improv sessions into five cohesive permutations of her vibrant sound. She wants nothing more than to inspire authentic expression in as many music lovers as possible. It's safe to say LVNDR has found her voice but by no means is she finished evolving as an artist.
