• September 2022
Thato Ratsebe came to Vermont with dreams of tall building and bustling streets, like she saw on tv when living in rural Africa. Her host family was in Shelburne, Vermont and views of America changed, and became her home. For the inaugural year of TEDxHartlandHill in Woodstock, VT, we compiled an amazing group of speakers to dive into the question, "What is Community?" Each speaker taking on aspects of being our best-self to help foster a truly healthy environment.
Thato now runs an organization that helps immigrants create community and find their way in their new world, adding to the growing fabric of our country. Her stories are profound, funny, heartfelt and inspiring. We are more alike than not, and our hearts can be used as our hands to tie us together.
