Did you judge me? Transform stereotype, racism, and your world | Zamina Mithani | TEDxStanleyPark 

Why don’t videos like this go viral? This is amazing.

Am so impressed, she used humour to pass her message across. This is so true of most of us. Judging people is what most of us do half of the time.

This young woman has given us all something to think about !. Powerful, witty, a wonderful message for all, thank you Zamina ~.

Strong and powerful advice to Muslims and others, may Allah reward u and keep in the religion of peace ameen...

I was doing some research for a middle school lesson on stereotyping when I came across this video. Zamina, your talk was more inspirational than you know. I shall be sharing it a lot.

13:16 “Sometimes it’s people that don’t look like us who teach is the most”

So beautiful and heart filled with kindness . We need more people like you to remind people who are born to judge. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.

The perfect message for today's world! Thank you Zamina! Rap on!!

I love your speech. It's 5 In the morning and you made me smile. Thank you and greetings from Holland. Salaam Alaikum wrb

I feel proud that I am a Muslim girl 🤗🤗

Incredible! I stumbled upon this video and found a Hijabi Muslim sister delivering amazing thought revoking as well as mindset changing speech! Zazakallah

Oh my gosh. Sis Zamina! You killed it!! I can't believe what a performance that was and with such a critical message. I couldn't be there but im standing for you now!

Outstanding sister, the way you perform really inspirational...love it..

Amazing presentation. I am starting to believe the root cause of all these stereotyping and having opinions on other people and subjects starts from the fact that we are trying to have "an answer" for what we don't know instead of asking questions. We should start promoting a "bad question" more than a "good answer".

Beta Zamina.... May Allah swt continue to guide you throughout your life. You delivered a powerful message in very eloquently with a good sprinkling of humor and a good helping of personal experiences. I AM PROUD OF YOU BETA and PROUD TO BE a Muslim and promise you to mend my ways when it comes to the temptation of judging a book by its cover. God bless you Maa!

Truly amazing talk by zamina. she, a Muslim, is talking before people spreading smiles. So making the negative thoughts about Muslims vanished! APPRECIATIONS

This is a message that is really often overlooked because it is mentioned often. Thank you Zamina for really demonstrating the slippery slope that is our judgement, with an awesome combination of wit, eloquence, and importance. Frankly, we all do this, and can definitely change the world through a little more kindness.

12:13 Judgement to prejudice & from prejudice to discrimination. So true!

This talk resonated with both myself and my young son - a great talk, that is cleverly crafted to bring out a true message that makes us STOP and think about how we individually judge others. It can make all the difference in the world, if we stop and change this.

I'd like to be her friend. She's funny, and has an amazing personality. May Allah bless her immensely and always. Ameen.

Such a great presentation that totally get the point across!

Really ur words touched my heart ❤️😍😍😍❤❤❤💓💓💓🤗🤗 thank you aapi

Thank you for your thoughtful talk. Your sense of humour is amazing too.

I am a muslim women and she inspires me a lot!

Zamina, you are so eloquent, so funny and your talk made me think about all the ways we judge each other with out always even realizing it. Thank you for your message!

I love you so much this message.

Funny, powerful, totally riveting! Thank you Zamina for the reminder to 'judge my judgements'. Bravo!

What an engaging speaker Zamina Mathini is! I wish the human brain could evolve past the inital judgement response and say "Oh wait! That's old programming! To "Unknown doesn't mean bad. They could be your new friend/colleague/classmate/partner" whatever the case may be. It is too easy to judge people purely on how they look. I am guilty of it myself. Yet some of the most unexpected kindness I've been shown was from people who were from other countries working and living in Ireland and who didn't look like me! It's like they could see with their hearts eyes! It's truly a magical gift to receive kindness from someone who is from a different culture from you and when the world seems like a tough place or you're having a bad day! The thing is, most of these people know what it's like to be different and i think that's what gives them so much compassion. That's why i grieve when i hear people rejecting immigrants or refugees. Most people don't voluntarily leave their homelands unless it's for a very good reason like escaping wars or inhumane treatments or conditions! Please cut these people some slack! Any one of us could find ourselves in a terrible situation like that and have to flee our countries with only the clothes we're wearing and leaving everyhing and everyone we knew! There but for the Grace of God go I/ all of us. Thank you Ted x. Thank you Zamina Mathini for your humour and generosity of spirit. Angel blessings from Precious Sweetheart 🙏🙂❤

Bravo! What a thought provoking, topical and powerful talk! Zamina is wise beyond her years. I hope her talk receives the widest publicity so that her uplifting message can change old mindsets.

Great talk. You are adorable, well spoken, inspirational, funny... not at all what I expected. KIDDING! That was a joke about judgements. True, you never know who is in front of you or what you can learn. Thank You for sharing.

Just what I'm looking for to teach about stereotyping. Thanks for the inspirational message.

This woman has the power to change the world. +Zaminaa Mithani

wow! that really blow me away, as i am typing i cant help but cry and ask my self, why people are easy to judge when they dont really know us personally. ive been there and its really hurting.

Most humbled by your speech. Reminder to self Be Kind.

Thank you for the great speech sister Zamina! So insightful. I wish I have 10% of your confidence 😁

It's awesome Sis. Thank u. Love u

What a great talk! So much to think about and reflect on... Definitely worth re-sharing!

Zamina! Your talk is so fantastic. You are a walking billboard for funny, inspirational badass Muslim woman AND you break down barriers wherever you go. Thank you for educating me on my own biases.

I like her simply way to deliver the value information to audience,I like her personality,❤️

May the Almighty God grant you more knowledge..... Appreciate your message-just simple and clear

beautifully spoken

Omgg This is one of the best ted talks Ive ever watched👌👌👌

Yes, prejudge all people before you even meet them....do it in a unkind idea...or ask them in a kind way what their name is introduce yourself ask them what you want in a kind way.. this is an intelligent way.....

Great talk Zamina- I'll never wear a hoodie without remembering your story!

Thank you for educating us, Zamina. Ever since I came to know there was a muslim religion, I was led to believe that all muslims were like the strict, abusive men of Saudi Arabia.

You rock!!! My nephew absolutely loved your talk! Thank you for sharing!

Allhamduliah, that was outstanding.

SHARE WELL ZAMINA I M SO TOUCH .PRAISE GOD

YES Zamina! This is absolutely brilliant!

Amazing

BEAUTIFUL SOUL!

So badass, so funny, so inspirational! Thanks, Zamina for being YOU!

It was so beautiful

This should be taught in churches

It's a great speech. but when you put on a "Jesus loves you" t-shirt, or a MAGA hat, or a hijab, you are already sending a message. I wouldn't want to talk with the first two kinds of people, and I would assume that the third kind is not very interested to talk with me (a white man and atheist). Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the right to wear whatever you want, but when you do, you are making a very strong and clear statement. In most of the world, the hijab is the sign that a woman lives according to a more traditional role model, and this comes often with the rejection of Western values and ideas. I can't really understand this choice (if it is one), but I try to respect it by keeping my distance.

Amazing speech....

Wow You performed very well😍😍😍😍💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 I wish I could have triple like this 😍😍😍

This is So nice

Awesome talk!

Assalamu walikum zamina u r fantastic funny inspiration and i like "judge your judgement" and u r Rapp thanks for your motivation speech

Shukran!

Great ! Thank you

Omg you really meak me cry

Outstanding

just great!!! one of the best talks

Wow !!! This was very entertaining and funny !!!!

I have an experience like her grandma but in my case I decided trust in the guy who was standing in the sidewalk and then he mugged me on the corner jajajaja but that didn´t change much my desire to give people a chance. :)

Like her speech

That was amazing.....😍

Good job

You go girl ❤

Just wondering why she doesn’t give her speech in Muslim countries around the world in order for them to stop bullying women who choose NOT TO wear the head coverings. We already know everything she says in Western countries. Please preach to Muslim countries where women are oppressed. I’ve seen many speeches like hers in Ted Talks. Move on please

You're awesome! ❤ I'm sorry! ❤

She looks beautiful in hijab,,,,

Loved it!!!!

So..... why uncomfortable shoes

There is a lot of people who look like me but they are just cold😂😂
