"I have cerebral palsy. I shake all the time," Maysoon Zayid
announces at the beginning of this exhilarating, hilarious talk.
(Really, it's hilarious.) "I'm like Shakira meets Muhammad Ali." With
grace and wit, the Arab-American comedian takes us on a whistle-stop
tour of her adventures as an actress, stand-up comic, philanthropist and
advocate for the disabled.
Writer, actor, comedian, Maysoon Zayid is the co-founder of the New York Arab-American Comedy Festival.I watched her Ted Talk and realised how many people face cancer, heart and lung disease, diabetes and a vast array of phenomenally challenging illnesses on a daily basis. They awaken every morning, look adversity right in the eye and choose to laugh in the face of the greatest challenges of their lives. They've chosen to live everyday with purpose, joy and gusto.
