TEDxTU -Kathryn Hall Trujillo-Mama Kat's Quilt February 7, 2012

Favorite:

Kathryn Hall Trujillo started the Birthing Project as a test initiative for the government to eventually fund. But the funding never came, and one day Kathryn found herself so involved in the Center for Community Health and Wellbeing, of which the Birthing Project was a part, that she never returned to her state job. The center grew into a robust one-stop location for clinic and social services under a single roof, and a Sacramento-wide public health program. For eighteen years, Kathryn has provided structure to the ad hoc expansion of the Birthing Project at 82 sites in response to requests that poured in from all over the country, including her recent world to bring the services to New Orleans. In this video, she talks about her personal story and the Birthing Project.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
