We Define Women by Relationship Status and Should Stop | Acamea Deadwiler | TEDxWartburgCollege

Why it is not OK to make assumptions about women based solely on their relationship status? Acamea Deadwiler encourages you to embrace the power of choice and that it is OK to reject traditional gender roles. Acamea Deadwiler is from the United States. A global issue that she would like to resolve is to ensure everyone had the resources and access to achieve financial stability. A person figure she looks up to is Oprah for her ambition, unapologetic stance, and drive to help those less fortunate. Deadwiler says: “She speaks eloquently and carries herself with compassionate authority. I also admire that while Oprah has had a longtime partner, she’s challenged the stereotypical narrative that women should aspire to marriage and motherhood. The most financially successful woman in the world did it her way and epitomizes the idea of being ‘enough’ as a woman.” Her top bucket list item is to land a speaking role in a television show or movie. Fun fact: Deadwiler played basketball in college. This talk was given at
