An idea worth spreading

Literature is fun. Love is love. All lives matter. Women's rights are human rights.

The TED story

One of my teachers wanted us the study a talk about feminism and while listening I found myself enjoying the talk very much and it was interesting because normally I get distracted really easily. And after that I did watch several TED talks and found that many talks didn't have Turkish subtitles so I decided to become a TED translator and translate these impressive talks into Turkish.
