Rethinking storytelling to help people care | Mariana Atencio | TEDxUniversityofNevada

NBC News journalist Mariana Atencio covered three hurricanes, one earthquake and the worst mass shooting at a church in America in less than three months. She traveled to Mexico, Puerto Rico and Texas, raising her voice for thousands of victims. But it was the crisis in her country or origin, Venezuela, that really hit home. In this talk, Mariana tells you how to use the power of your own voice to make people care. Mariana is a Peabody-Award winning journalist and news personality working for MSNBC and NBC News, where she covers domestic and international issues with breaking news and special reports. The Huffington Post called her “our Latina Christiane Amanpour” and one of the top Latinas in American Newsrooms, making the rare “crossover from Spanish to English television.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
