There aren’t many words one can use to describe TEDxCUNY 2014 that don’t have the same connotation as “raving success.” There was an inundation of requests to attend and for good reason.

I don’t want to lay clichés in front of you. So let’s talk about something that comes across as over discussed but is clearly not. Racist sentiment has poked its ugly head quite a bit over the past week. Cliven Bundy, a well-known Nevada rancher, made ripples across the country when he made racist comments in […]
