TEDxUStreetSalon is a local, independently organized event to be to be held in Washington DC. We want this to be an event that strives to recreate the unique experience found at TED, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers congregate to share what they are most passionate about. At its core, the fundamental goal of TED and TEDxUStreetSalon is to foster and spread great ideas. We aim to provide a platform where the smartest thinkers, greatest visionaries, and most fascinating teachers will be inspired and will have the opportunity to inspire others.

I decided to expand the TEDxUStreet brand because I recognized that I was missing a critical market audience – men. The TEDxUStreetWomen conference is considered to be the signature event of the TEDxUStreet brand. TedxUStreetSalon events provide additional value to the brand by having several smaller event before and after the TEDxUStreetWomen conference. These events do not to replace each other, but compliment each other. TEDxSalons are designed to be small but impactful. A critical element of salon is lively discussions, allowing attendees to actively participate in the event. With much smaller audiences, salons bring attendees together in more intimate spaces, and with more chances to get know and exchange ideas as with each other.

Our first salon event theme is “The Future of Men of Color” where the speakers will discuss their ideas around the changing landscape of the world and how it impacts men of color. With the emergence of the pandemic and the current civic unrest, one can not image the effects it will have on our youth and men of color. What will the job landscape look like? Will men of color have the same level of access to wealth? What about our youth? Will they have the support they need to handle their unique challenges? Are men prepared to thrive in this new normal? These are just some questions that need innovative ideas (recommendation) that will be shared with individuals all over the world. Now is the time to show the world how you see The Future of Men of Color.

This event is broken into 4 concurrent discussion sessions with TED/TEDx speakers: Navigating Within a System that Don't Appreciate Your Heritage, Is Wealth the Answer to the Future of Men of Color, Healing the Man of Color- Discussing the Effects of Toxic Masculinity, and a live panel discussion where we will have an Inter-Generational panel discussion the future of young men. We will end the day breaking bread and a socially distanced networking session. Check out the website for updated times and speakers.

The TEDxUStreetSalon team is very excited about our inaugural Salon event scheduled for April 5, 2021. As with our TEDxUStreetWomen conference, we expect that our newest brand will maintain our standards of quality and success. As a TEDxUStreetSalon speaker, you will have the support from the TEDxUStreetWomen team and followers as well as the support of other individuals who share in the vision of spreading ideas worth sharing. Are you ready to contribute to “The Future of Men of Color” movement? If so, continue reading on how you can be a part of TEDxUStreetSalon team of innovators.
