The Story We Tell About Poverty Isn't True

Overview

This TED Talk by Mia Birdson, founding Executive Director of Next River, was posted in May 2015. As a global community, we all want to end poverty. Mia Birdsong suggests a great place to start: Let's honor the skills, drive, and initiative that poor people bring to the struggle every day. She asks us to look again at people in poverty: They may be broke — but they're not broken.
