Why your weakness is your Superpower

Do you believe in superpowers? Reeta Loi does. In Reeta's talk-come-spoken-word-performance, she shares what she thinks the source of these superpowers is. Exploring her race, gender, Indian heritage, queerness and childhood, Reeta reflects on why her authentic self was so difficult for her family, community and indeed members of wider society to accept. Instead Reeta asks "what if our 'Otherness', the parts of us that have been oppressed, are our greatest source of power?"
A celebration of self love and authenticity, Reeta's triumphant piece encourages you to see what makes you different; what is perceived as weak, as your superpowers. Superpowers that might in fact be a remedy to right past and present wrongs - and inspired Reeta's latest song, 'Remedy', performed live at TEDxLondonWomen.
