Andina y sinvergüenza | Alessandra Yupanqui | TEDxUCAL

Have you ever felt that there are things about yourself that are better left unsaid? Alessandra has too. This talk recounts her journey to understand the stigma associated with her Andean roots, her search for identity, and the discovery of a broader sense of self. A content creator and activist on issues related to Andean ethnicity, she is also a third-generation immigrant. With over 40,000 followers on social media, her message focuses on communicating that the layers of identity are not opposed, but rather juxtaposed. A curious collector of family stories, she is also a designer and a UCAL alumna. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
