This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. In her witty and powerful talk Gina Messina-Dysert ‘confesses’ her Catholic feminist identity. She discusses the connection between feminism and religion and the ways social media has created a space for women’s voices. In the end, Gina calls for every person to recognize her/his feminist potential, to claim power, and to be fearless.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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)
