A colorful case for outside-the-box thinking on identity | Olivia Vinckier TED Talks Kids and Family

    • Kids & Family

Olivia Vinckier makes the case for recognizing and accepting, rather than limiting, the growing reality that identity is multifaceted, ever-expanding -- and more colorful than you think.
