This girl is one hell of an inspirational speaker. Her way with words and charisma will keep your attention for all 20 minutes of her TED Talk. “If I should have a daughter, instead of Mom, she's gonna call me Point B” began spoken word poet Sarah Kay, in a talk that inspired two standing ovations at TED2011. She tells the story of her metamorphosis from a wide-eyed teenager soaking in verse at New York's Bowery Poetry Club to a teacher connecting kids with the power of self-expression through Project V.O.I.C.E. -- and gives two breathtaking performances of “B” and “Hiroshima.”
