Members Chaz MENA

I'm passionate about

Cuban History, Progressive Activism, Secular Humanism, Democracy, Performing, World Cinema, Film History, French Culture & History, My wife: Ileana M. Musa Mena

An idea worth spreading

Taking the first step towards National Reconciliation for Cuba by ridding ourselves in the U.S. of our disastrous Cuban Embargo. Let's rob Cuba of their enemy and cement the ties that have bound our two countries for centuries. Culture is long, politics is short.

Talk to me about

Cuban History, particularly the 19th Century; the acting profession in the United States; Contemporary Aesthetics in the theatre; making a marriage work.

People don't know that I'm good at

Boxing, yard work, singing.

My TED story

Ted has kept me company whenever I am on the road--which is usually the case. It fits perfectly into my humanism, and satisfies my desire to learn about EVERYTHING. As Long as I draw breadth I must learn.

I am also a public speaker, and so your website affords me much in the way of looking towards newer ways to present data, ideas, abstract ideas, stats, etc. Your speakers are usually very engaging because there is no artifice in their delivery. They speak from experience, usually.
