What About Girls? | Adam Odomore | TEDxTexasStateUniversity

We often hear about the benefits of education for females, however, we never here about some of the challenges that limit girls from education especially in developing countries. How about we talk about that? Born and raised in Nigeria, West Africa. Adam graduated with honors with a bachelors in International relations from Texas State University. As an alum from Semester at Sea (Fall 2014) and an aspiring Foreign Service Officer, he is a patron of that arts-music, visual art, theatre, and dance. However, he has a passion helping others find their voice and putting them in places to succeed. For him, with the proper education, he believes that everybody has a chance at a brighter future. He is a feminist and a believer in empowering women and girls through the use of education. As a winner of the Social Innovation Challenge, he have launched a fashion line that will contribute some of its profits to help provide scholarships and grants to boys and girls in developing countries to help them attain an education. His life vision is to help provide education for the future generation, because that is an investment that cannot be taken lightly. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
