Black and ethnic minority groups (BAME) suffer from systemic bias at every stage from juvenile justice to prison sentencing: Black people make up 3% of the population but 12% of prisons; they are 10 times more likely to be stopped and checked than white people, and receive longer sentences for similar crimes. This injustice stems from historical racial stereotypes, negative media narratives, and a lack of diverse representation in the judiciary. Professor Adin proposed solutions: acknowledge systemic problems, promote self-reflection to eliminate implicit bias, and significantly increase minority representation in the justice system. He emphasized that true justice requires breaking the myth of "equal treatment", facing up to the structural difficulties faced by different groups, and achieving substantive fairness through institutional reconstruction. as This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

In this talk, Alexia Sotomayor challenges the way we perceive limitations. She shares how growing up with unilateral vision and navigating setbacks in her Olympic Journey taught her that seeing differently can turn obstacles into opportunities and redefine success. Alexia is a competitive swimmer from Peru and a senior at Saint Andrew’s School, where she is a Residential Life Student. She has spent the past three years training at the highest level while balancing academics and life away from home. Born with unilateral vision, she has to navigate the challenges of depth perception and limited peripheral sight both in and out of the pool. Outside of the water, she has a deep passion for storytelling and loves music and art, perceiving them as different ways to see everything. She is always looking for new ways to challenge her perspective and understanding of the world. She joined TEDx because she believes in the power of ideas to create change and wanted to share her journey of overcoming mental and physical barriers beyond what the eye can see. Through her talk, she hopes to inspire others to rethink how they define success and recognize that sometimes, the biggest obstacles aren’t the ones we can’t see, but the ones we refuse to.
