Hakim Bellamy is a two-time Poetry Slam National Champion, and has been named “Best Poet” by both the Local iQ (Smart List 2010 & 2011) and the Alibi (Best of Burque 2010 & 2011). As an educator and performer, he is interested not only in the poetry lessons he teaches his students, but the lessons which Poetry has taught him.
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)
That has a very nice ring to it ;) Thank you again TEDxABQ! So many people have seen me afterwards and said nice things about my TED Talk. I am humbled by your praise and encouragement. Beautiful people deserve beautiful words, I’m doing my best to meet you half way. (See some of the awesome photos from TEDxABQ here.)-hb
It’s odd. Every year on 9/11 I tend to be in the studio. Maybe it’s because we create to get over destruction. Coincidentally, this was a piece of the TEDxABQ Talk I did on Saturday. Production by Diles. On my album BE. Yesterday it was me and Camilo Quinones cooking a soon to be release track on relationships…get your radios ready.
A cadre of TEDxABQ speakers and lead “TED-head”, Tim Nisly. I got to go back to my old stomping grounds at KOB (Floor Crew Tech 2006-07) on the “other” side of the camera with the always genuine, Nicole Brady. I got to share this episode of Eye on New Mexico with other TED speakers Shana Rappaport (Bioneers) and Dr. Diana Northup (UNM SLIME). Thanks to the KOB-TV Floor Crew Peeps, Nicole Brady and the TEDxABQ Crew (& Tim). We are sold-out but you can watch via simulcast, check out www.tedxabq.com for details. (Note: I’m in the second half of the program.)
It’s coming. Only a few tickets left. Sneak peak of another speaker, Nancy Judd of Recycle Runway, with my son in the Atlanta International Airport. Her exhibit is housed there. She is another TEDxABQ speaker. It’s all connected. It’s deep. You don’t want to miss it. See the promo above and share…and come. -hb
