Why gender roles prevent both men and women from being their true selves
In short: In this influential TED Talk, author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie explores how societal expectations limit human potential. Watch as she argues for a world where ambition is not viewed as a threat to men.
Adichie examines the subtle ways we socialize girls to temper their ambitions, teaching them to be successful only to a degree that does not intimidate men. She proposes that by reimagining these gendered constraints, we can create a fairer society where both men and women are able to live more authentically.
