Questione di appartenenza e di genere | Fjona Cakalli | TEDxYouth@LiceoPitagora

I've spent half my life "suffering" a life that went against the grain. I was different by birth, not by choice. The Italy of the early 1990s wasn't ready for me, and I wasn't ready for it: my name, place of birth, accent, and spoken language were strange and different. Everything I was ashamed of as a child because it didn't make me feel part of something shaped me and has now become my most recognizable signature, my distinguishing mark. Embrace the past and be free to choose your life that goes against the grain. Born in Tirana in 1987, she is a content creator, speaker, tech influencer, TV host, and digital entrepreneur.
