Onstage At TEDx Rainier

Posted November 15th, 2012 by Lesley Hazleton

It’ll be a few weeks yet until the video of the TEDxRainier talk I gave last Saturday goes online (multiple cameras — fortunately I was unaware of them — involve post-production work).  But here, by way of a teaser/preview, are three stills just sent me by the organizers.  They’re in chronological sequence, and they do seem to capture the spirit of the talk:

    Wicked, wylde, wonderful woman! You go! I’m eager to hear the TED talk, of course; but this entire site and your current books are as powerful as the talk can possibly be. Grateful, indeed, to have had the pleasure of a writing workshop with you Centrum, PT, summer 2008.

    Exactly how I would imagine you to look Lesley. The spirited expression, beauty to match the brains, and ooh the headscarf!!
    Wish I could hear you in person. Waiting for the video……
    The first Ted talk already had me hooked to you forever.
    Love and luck,
    Nuzhat.

    the headscarf suits you…..can;t wait for the talk
    by the way hasn;t the scarf been around for thousands of years i.e.
    Italians/Russian/Medieval/ad infinitum…and the Queen loves her headscarf…..nuns/Mother Mary..

      Good point: The headscarf I used in the talk is known as a ‘shayla’, a word of Persian origin which then gave rise to the English word ‘shawl.’
