Ted talk critique and sources

Sources for my own Ted talk:
-myself, my story about my own concussion
-story about mark savvard hockey player on the Bruins who had too many concussions so he had to stop playing
-Www.clearedtoplay.org/concussion-information/concussions-by-the-numbers
-www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2491929

Cameron Russell: looks aren't everything. believe me, I'm a model. (The link wouldn't work)
-she seems really nervous
-no one really laughs at her jokes
-first outfit change on the ted stage
-able to transform what the audience thinks of her by what she's wearing
-changes from a scandalous dress to a conservative long skirt and flats
-"image is powerful and also superficial"
-surgery and fake tans transform how you look superficially
-uses a PowerPoint to display her pictures
-talks about questions she's asked such as "how did you become a model", "do you get a lot of free stuff?", "can I be a model when I grow up?" "Do they retouch all of the photos"
-uses humor.. Why would you want to be a model when you could be anything in the world, the president of the United states, a ninja cardio-thoracic surgeon poet
-shows her own work
-the take away to this talk: feel more comfortable acknowledging the power of image in our perceived successes and our perceived failures
