TED TALK: Aisha Nyandoro asks “What does “wealth” mean to you?”
10. 17. 2023
Aisha Nyandoro calls for us to redefine what it means to be wealthy — and to listen when people tell us what they need most.
For people living in poverty, a guaranteed income can mean finally having the space to dream of a comfortable life. Sharing the stories of single moms who participated in a first-of-its-kind program that offered them $1,000 per month with no strings attached, poverty disrupter Aisha Nyandoro calls for us to redefine what it means to be wealthy — putting aside lavish vacations and fancy cars in favor of paid bills and a well-fed family — and to listen when people tell us what they need most.
