How my biggest secret became my biggest power
Sophie-Anne Onland |
TEDxAmsterdamWomen
• December 2021
We can change our perspective on self identity and beauty, if we shift to showing our differences instead of covering them.
Sophie-Anne Onland was born with a disability: her left leg is 25 cm shorter than her right leg. In this talk she shares her personal story about what she learned through self-discovery when she shifted recently to a new non-covering prosthetic leg. This helped her to accept herself and her disability. By sharing her secret and being proud of her difference, Sophie hopes to inspire people to be brave, to accept themselves as they are and to in fact make their difference their power. Because then we can change the current beauty standard, she believes.
