Revolution is the sound of your heart still beating | Dominique Christina | TEDxMileHigh

Imagine you’re Coretta Scott King and you’ve just learned that your husband Martin was assassinated. How do you feel? What do you tell your children? In two jaw-dropping performances, Dominique Christina evokes both the lowest lows and the highest highs of the human condition. She reminds us that no matter where we are in life, there is always a reason to be grateful. Dominique Christina is a mother, author, licensed educator, social agitator, and intersectional feminist.
