1. Talk on importance of story / Literature :-
=> In this video she talks identity. She talks about that how identity is connected with our culture, colour of skin. Through this identity markers everybody judges our character. She also refers Chinua Achebe and Camara Laye. Skin colour alos has a part of literature. Through the literature peoples knew the another story. In single story everybody focus on one purseption. And through the writing the another door of vision is opens, and gives a new way.

2. We Should All be Feminist :-
=> She tells that without husband, woman is happy woman. At her time class monitor is big deal. And higher marks is important for the position of monitor. And then she get high marks. But she is girl. That's why she does not get the position of monitor. And one boy who get second, higher marks who became a monitor. And because he is boy. So that's type of difference she faces in childhood. And she also tells that man get more opportunities in comparison of women. Both are equally powerful in work, and skills but man get more benefits in comparison of woman character. Because physical strength is becomes one reason. Those who have strength, who become leader. Leadership connected with strength. But there is change in today's time. Today who became leader who have creative, innovative and intelligent. So time changes everything. That change happens slowly, but it's effect in larger era.

3. Talk on importance of Youth in post - truth Era :-
=> In today's time truth is layered with many false things. Because false is becomes the one part of everyone's life. Everyone speaks, false because of some situations. Some situations, shows it like real. But it's not there. Because in this reality is less, and falsehood is more. Matter of intent and matter of context is necessary.
