| Oscar Garcia | TEDxBirmingham Speaker & Immigration Advocate

🔻 { Connecting to Communicate } 🔻 conversation with fellow TEDx Speaker | Oscar R Garcia | was fulfilling as I learned more about what it is like to be in his shoes. I asked about how the public has embraced his TEDx talk advocating on building bridges, not walls. In his TEDx talk, he poured his heart out about that invisible wall that separates connection between individuals.

Whenever Oscar and I get together to catch up, we inspire each other with new ideas and dreams. He is a strong encourager, telling me to go after my dreams. Ever since Oscar and I did speaker auditions together, we helped and encouraged each other in our respective talks. And we still do. With our backgrounds revealing how we share similarities including the fact that we teach English, albeit differently (His is ESL, and mine using writing prompts), we have that strong connection. However, I know without a doubt that his TEDx talk resonates with each individual listening. I sincerely hope that I do not disappoint him, because I want to continue working on future projects with him to make Birmingham and the world better. ¡Abrazo! Friday, 7 September 2018. @need2say
