This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Through the still image, a new narrative takes us beyond mainstream media, shining a light on problems in remote corners of the world that has relevance to all of us. It’s a future where we can point our camera lens towards the „off the radar“world.

The work of PWB seeks to not only donate photography and video to grassroots organizations that need it, but to raise awareness about organizations that many have never heard of, expand limited narratives about people and places, and shed light on some of the good in our world so we can have wider perspectives without leaving our living rooms. Danielle lives in Toronto where she runs a successful photography/video business alongside PWB.
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)
