My parents didn't know how to encourage me to do what I loved, so I grew up hesitant about my passions. They weren't supportive if I mentioned arts, like photography or music. They were only interested in such fields like medicine, finances, so I had to find what I liked in these field. I love psychology, but I hardly imagine myself working in that area, I see myself as a calm, sensitive, loving and caring person. I love nature and animals, singing and writing poems. I am 31yo trying my best to come find my true self and it is not an easy process. Sometimes I think it would be the best if I cut out any contact with my parents, because all they care is do I have a good paying job, but they never asked if I feel fulfilled and happy.

My Old VHS Tapes ... Maybe because of our behaviour we are fast becoming "mere humans" in a world devoid of the diversity that we were once just a minor percentage "of". Of all, and everything we do, discluding diversity in favour of a monoculturality mentality that forces everything else out in favour of humans is ultimately limiting, and an incessant push toward A.I. is ensuring our demise as a species. One that is not truly worthy of existence. A visionary repeatedly saying mere humans is a humility perspective. But I could be wrong about this.

But it is talks like this one that show how we can, each in our own way, make a contribution to change.

I'm still working on it, but its impacted me so much already. Once you are able to focus on just you and what you need and want out of this life, the rest is fair game and what truly draws you in will find you when you are in a position to accept it.

Marika Bee All art has purpose!

+J Blank / Perhaps, but sometmes art's only purpose is to exist for it's own sake. Peggy's art serves an even nobler cause than that. It serves the greater cause of bringing awareness to the plight of our endangered whales and dolphins, in the hope that it will spur others to take positive actions to protect these beautiful creatures.

"...sometimes art's only purpose is to exist for it's own sake". I disagree with you. Who says your art won't inspire people in 100, 200 or 1000 years in the future? Art, just like the rest of culture and even mankind... isn't stoic nor stagnant. It means different things for people through time. None of the art made till this day exists for it's own sake. It's aesthetically and conceptually impossible. Its purpose is to communicate the inner universe within a person, made by emotions, ideas, hopes, terrors and dreams. All of them evolve. Respected art could fall into oblivion and vice versa... but never cease to exist. Art can serve noble ideals, yes. But it can also be used as a tool to denounce what us human beings are doing wrong and portray this behavior in a more "noticeable" way. You know what they say: an image speaks a thousand words. Also a sound, a body movement, a theatrical gesture.

She is just so lovely:)

The speaker is phenomenal. Her passion is so very infectious, makes me think anything is possible in my life. I adore the beginning video, the sounds of passion for nature's Beings🎆

She seems like she has such a beautiful soul.

I’ll be so glad when humans care enough about animals to stop needlessly killing and eating them

WOW!!! Amazing talk! Compassion, passion & action! We can tell she is living a life full of purpose, creating arts and social movement. We need more loving and kind people like this. Her smile and happiness are genuine! Once again, amazing! I cried and I'm inspired!

Thank you for Making Waves with your labor of love, and teaching the next generations to love, connect and protect. Blessings in your way!

I grew up in Santa Monica down the street from Baby Paul Cullen in the mid 70's. I am VERY, VERY HAPPY to see what Ms. Oki has accomplished! She is a WONDERFUL Human Being!

It's so beautiful that someone cares deep in their heart to protect the beautiful creatures that God has given us,THERE are not many people would spend a minute even caring about them,they cannot speak for themselves,but this incredible WOMAN speaks for them and awakens us to help,teach and learn about these beautiful animals,how beautiful is that CARING IS BEAUTIFUL AND I THANK THIS WOMAN FOR CARING SO MUCH FOR THESE WHALES,I BELIEVE EVERYONE HAS A PURPOSE, AND SHE HAS FOUND HER PURPOSE AND IS AWESOME ALL THE WAY AROUND,PASSIONATE A VERY GOOD QUESTION SHE ASKED,....HOW MANY CAN ACTUALLY BE SO PASSIONATE....GOD BLESS HER!

Hello Premilla How are you doing?

this was presented in 206, and I only find this video 4 years later? not fair !

Beautiful! Thank you Peggy Oki, Champion of Whales... 😊😊😊

I'm glad that this TED talk appeared in my recommendation. Such a compassionate, inspiring lady! As an animal lover, I even teared up listening to her stories and now I'm inspired to do something myself to save the animals on our beautiful planet ❤ Thank you a lot for this amazing talk!

This is a beautiful woman

Thank you Peggy Oki for the example by which you live, the message you share, your work and for letting the things that come from your heart to get out.

As I began to listen to her journey with cetacean nation, my eyes filled with tears, as I was encountering a kindred spirit. I too am an artist, lover of animals on land & sea, and getting ready to be a speaker on a stage! I'm so excited to continue this journey "allowing things to unfold and my purpose in life will follow! Many Blessings!

Wow! Peggy just showed us how beautiful we appear when we give ourselves over to a passion and compassion we have for another life.

This moved me to tears, what a beautiful way to raise awareness and find purpose in the path.

She is adorable without ego. So genuine and compassionate.

I agree with other comments which express admiration for Peggy Oki. Ignore the haters in the thread below and really watch/listen to this TED talk. Our world needs more activists with this mellow vibe. She is an amazing woman.

Ask for them that today i pray for a complete stranger on the other side of the world that they may find their path to enlightenment, namaste.

Turn compassion into action 🤝 after watching this video I applied to volunteer for sea shepherd! Thanks for inspiring me to make that move Peggy. I always think about these issues but I’m terrible at doing nothing all the time... >.< I want to help! I think many people do. It’s just difficult to know how. But seeing those thousands of whale origami.. make me realize that when lots of people do something small-even very small such as folding a piece of paper- they can create something world changing. I want to do something, even if it’s very small.

What an amazing woman. She is radiant and her communication style is so honest and natural.

I love her...what a terrific human being. she looks so happy. Namaste Dearheart

When you consider they evolved from the ocean, to land, then back to the oceans it makes sense they have enormous accumulated wisdom and knowledge.

She's been cool for decades and will be beautiful forever. Bestest ted talk I've seen in a long time.

This should have been called WHALE TALK.
