    Covering 1.5 million acres in South Florida, the Everglades National Park is the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States. The Everglades ecosystem supplies the drinking water for millions of South Floridians.

    But what was the origin of the Everglades? When and why did they get the National Park designation? What are some of the challenges the park is facing? And why do the Everglades matter to South Florida?

  • Unleashing the Power of Storytelling | Caroline Faraj | TEDxWestfordUniSharjah

    In a world where stories have the power to #ignite change and touch the lives of individuals, communities, and organizations, "#Unleashing the #Power of Storytelling" takes you on an #extraordinary journey. Through the art of storytelling, individuals have the unique ability to evoke deep emotions, captivate #audiences, and effectively convey complex ideas in a relatable and engaging manner. The stories we share have the potential to bridge divides, foster understanding, and spark meaningful dialogue. They have the power to challenge the status quo, break down barriers, and drive societal progress.

    "Unleashing the Power of Storytelling" emphasizes the importance of sharing our true stories from within—not because others want to hear them, but because we genuinely care about them. By embracing our narratives, we embark on a journey of self-discovery, gaining a deeper understanding of our #identity , values, and purpose.

    In the act of sharing our authentic stories, we find healing and catharsis. We inspire others by opening a window into our own unique experiences, perspectives, and struggles. By summoning the courage to tell our genuine stories, we create connections, foster empathy, and empower those who may find solace or inspiration in our words. Each story has the power to make a difference, to leave an indelible mark on the #world.

    This topic celebrates the immense #potential that lies within each of us. It reminds us that our #stories matter, and that they hold the power to shape #narratives, challenge assumptions, and drive positive #change. It invites you to step into the spotlight, to share your own story from within, and to embrace the transformative power of storytelling.

    Caroline Faraj, CNN VP and CNN Arabic Editor-in-Chief is an award-winning Journalist with over 30 years' experience. She was named winner of the Arab Woman of the year Awards 2022 as a leader in media, and in 2021 she won the Arab Woman Awards/ media category in the UAE. Caroline is an active Board Member of the International Humanitarian Council, which was founded by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Magdi Yacou Global Heart Foundation founded by the world known Surgeon Professor Sir Magdi Yacoub. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

  • The Girl Can Cook’s Online Expansion Plan is a Simmering Success

    Candace Conley was a teacher, a journalist and a clinical psychologist but at the age of 50 she realized what she loved most of all was teaching people how to have fun in the kitchen.

    She soon decided to embrace her roots as a teacher and instead focused on opening up her very own recreational cooking school, aptly named The Girl Can Cook.

    When she learned about the PayPal Business Cashback Mastercard (https://www.paypal.com/us/business/fi..., she knew it was an advantageous way to help manage her cash flow. Best of all, she could use it in-store as well as online, giving her the buying power she needed on a daily basis.

  • What’s Next for Migrants Seeking Asylum After Title 42

    Antonio and his family have been living in a Tijuana shelter for months after fleeing violence in the Mexican state of Michoacan in 2020.

    After months of trying, they secured an appointment to seek asylum in the United States and will be some of the first to be processed after the lifting of Title 42, a pandemic-era policy.

  • The intensity of the action epic “The Woman King,” starring Viola Davis and now in theaters, is balanced out with moments of levity, particularly in this training montage that sets up two key characters.

    Nawi (Thuso Mbedu) has been dumped by her father at the palace in the Kingdom of Dahomey in 19th-century Africa. She is taken in and trained to become a part of a group of female soldiers. The woman leading the drills is Izogie (Lashana Lynch), whom Nawi ultimately tries to emulate.

    “We’ve seen training montages before and they’re always fun and exciting,” the director Gina Prince-Bythewood said, narrating the scene. “What is going to make this one different?” She said putting the focus on the story of female warriors was “the element we haven’t seen.”

    Prince-Bythewood’s approach, one she employed in her previous action film, “The Old Guard,” was to have actors perform their own stunts. In this sequence, that means performers have to pull off a flip in a couple of wrestling scenes. First, it’s Lynch flipping Mbedu, which Prince-Bythewood said came with a caveat: Mbedu would only agree to being flipped six times. But apparently the sixth time was the charm.

    “You see it, she gets trucked,” Prince-Bythewood said.
    The segment where Nawi gets to pull the same maneuver on Ode (Adrienne Warren), a fellow trainee, came with a surprise.

    “The beauty of that moment, is at the end of the wrestling, Ode shoves Nawi,” Prince-Bythewood said. “That was not scripted. That was two actors so in the moment.”
