Oltre il cognome: la verità sull’adozione | Fatima Sarnicola | TEDxUniSalerno
Fatima racconta la sua esperienza di adozione per sfidare i pregiudizi: attraverso il suo primo ricordo, le emozioni provate, gli stereotipi superati e la scelta consapevole dell’amore quotidiano, dimostra che la famiglia si costruisce con cura e sostegno, non con il DNA. Oltre il cognome, l’adozione diventa un atto di profondo affetto e speranza, non una “seconda scelta”. Fatima nasce nel 1998 a Skaciai, un piccolo villaggio della Lituania, e cresce in un orfanotrofio, dove affronta traumi e difficoltà. Ma la sua forza interiore non si spezza. A soli 8 anni, la sua vita prende una svolta: viene adottata da una famiglia italiana ad Agropoli, dove, nonostante le sfide di adattamento e il bullismo, riesce a costruire una nuova vita grazie all'amore e al sostegno della sua nuova famiglia.Oggi, laureanda in biologia e impegnata nella ricerca, Fatima è anche fondatrice di AdoptLife, il primo magazine italiano dedicato all’adozione e all'affido. Su TikTok e Instagram condivide la sua storia per sensibilizzare sull'importanza dell'adozione e per offrire supporto a chi ha vissuto esperienze simili.Con il suo messaggio, Fatima ci ricorda che ogni bambino merita una famiglia amorevole e che, con il giusto supporto, è possibile superare le avversità più grandi.

- 10:47Pixels and Perspectives: Finding Meaning in the Details | Daniyal Harris | TEDxIBAWhat if the smallest, most overlooked moments in your life held the key to who you're meant to become? In this talk, Daniyal Haris explores how life’s tiniest “pixels”—the hardships, rejections, and quiet victories—can come together to form a meaningful picture. Drawing from his journey as a filmmaker and student, Daniyal argues that it's not about fitting into someone else’s frame—it's about building your own image, one pixel at a time. This talk is a reminder that no one else defines your potential, and sometimes, the clearest perspective comes from the blurriest beginnings. [Filmmaker - Storyteller]An IBA student with a filmmaker's soul, Daniyal Harris crafts stories that blur the line between memory and magic. His nostalgic style of filmmaking doesn't just tell a story - it transports you into it.
