Self determination is freedom and a tool against prejudice | Xenia Tchoumi | TEDxKoeln
Xenia Tchoumi gives in her TEDxKoeln Talk an insight into her different identities. Internet is a low cost, democratic tool that - until now - has been quite unrestricted in many parts of the world. Women (and other social groups that are often discriminated against) have now a stronger voice and can reach a larger audience, just by sitting in front of a laptop or on a smartphone in their house. Forums, social media, blogs, video platforms and websites are all tools in which likeminded people can create communities and convey messages. Whether it’s trough entertainment, fashion, cooking, self-help or literature, the new technologies help us to branch out from old, rigid, social structures.
Xenia has made the experience of discrimination and sexism as an attractive woman in several professional fields she has worked in. She want to spread the message of how we can overcome these - thanks to tools like the internet, and mainly through a mentality shift for all men and women of 2015.
Xenia Tchoumi is an online entrepreneur, model and a digital celebrity. Swiss-Italian with Russian origins, she speaks six languages (Italian, Russian, English, German, French, Spanish) and holds a University degree in Science of Economics. Parallel to her studies and work experiences in investment banking, she was elected Miss Photogenique and first runner up at the Miss Switzerland contest. The attention from journalists brought her to fame: she then decided to self-manage her image and contracts and became spokes-model for major fashion brands and tv presenter.
Xenia hosted her own TV-show about business in Italy called „L’Italia Che Funziona“, interviews successful people in „La Recette De Mon Succès“ and has her own column in the american Haute Living Magazine and the British Le Grand Mag. She gives leadership speeches at universities and conferences.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Her tricks: 1. Imagination: draw your dream. write it and draw it -even if you're not good at drawing. 2. your identity is not fixed. You can create your identity. You can be anything you want. You are what you repeatedly say who you are. Don't be harsh on yourself. Think of yourself as a great person. 3. Fear. Feel the fear and do it anyway. 4. Use the fear as fuel. 5. Start. Focus your efforts in anything you do. As long as you do your best, you are likely to be rewarded. 6. Do not let them discourage you. People would do not believe in you, are talking out of their own fears. It has nothing to do with you. 7. Commit to your dreams. Persistence and commitment are the biggest key to success. Give your gig 100% effort/ability. Your identity is not fixed. You can be who you want to be.

"People would do not believe in you, are talking out of their own fears." Gosh, thank you! I needed to know that.
The power of vision + affirmations are truly powerful, you summed it up really effectively!
Great speech. Xenia is such a beautiful, smart and inspiring woman. I love her!
START TALKING HIGHLY ABOUT YOURSELF! AND START BELIEVING YOU
Powerful speech, Xenia is always well articulated her in speech. "your identity is not fixed.. what you are really to yourself say is what you become.. Think highly of yourself". is so true :) an incredible Ted Talk Video.

without referencing it, selling it as her own. For something like that one gets kicked out of academy for plagiarism for example

xenia sei fantastica. Concordo pienamente con te: i sogni diventano realtà se lavoriamo e crediamo duramente in ciò per cui viviamo. Grazie ❤
Very amazing xenia .... Thank you from our hearts ❤️
I watched 3 videos of Xenia - 2 from youtube and 1 from University of St. Gallen I found her on instagram a couple years ago, I saw she participated in the TEDex and I was wondered what she was talking about because I was really interested of her as aperson who is an entrepreneur, knew 6 lanquages and is originally Russian as me. And now I'm a little dissapointed because in all these 3 videos she's talking only about herself, how she got popular and famous and about her achievements. Looking through her instagram stories where she was kind of admiring herself I suspected that she's kind of a vain and assertive person but I hoped that she's deeper than it seems. I can understand when you want to share your story with the world (not only with your friends and environment) but when you do it all the time especially at the TEDex where people share really new, interesting and useful ideas it was for me exactly what some of other commentors said: nothing new, just revising what already has been found. Unfortunately.
This the type of knowledge I'm on 💯💯💯🎯
It is not enough to want something. You must be right about it in relation to yourself and to others. People are not supposed to dream even when they sleep. You must act consciously and realistically according to your talents and capacity.
Great speech Xenia, I agree with you 100%! 👍👍🔥
wow! so impressed about your speech. a lot of things remind me of myself. thank you for the motivation. :)
This video could be titled as very strond the message for all people who fear realize your own dreams or they don't know how do this, to the found the strength and passion to defeat its own limitations :) Very insipational speech !
It is a tool against prejudice because then you won't be judging every successful person thinking they had it easy, they just found their freedom in being determined to pursue their goals and dreams.
Much appreciation. I found value in this presentation. I am grateful to be able to learn from anyone. Shout out from Guatemalan. :)K
this woman is my inspiration.
this is awesome,thank you
Brilliant and very inspiring speech
Very Good and inspiring speech Xenia!
I love this girl!
Everything you told are 💯 you got it my love.. if we take charge of our mind, life energy, emotion nd body then we can even rewrite our own density as you say, tnx you love 🙏🙏❤️❤️ !!
I must say that this girl is the prettiest ted presenter ever, but her story is not for ted event, everything she said you can find it in any newspaper. I believe one day she will come up with a good and meaningful story.
MERCI . EXCELLENT THANK YOU SO MUCH. HAPPY MOMENYS...

¡Hola Xenia! Desde hace tiempo admiro muchísimo a Xenia Tchoumi porque realmente es una chica sorprendente y fuera de serie. Una chica extraordinaria que además inspira a quien la ve y la escucha en cualquiera de los 6 idiomas que habla. Este video debe ser compartido con gusto y sin dudarlo ni por un momento. Hoy domingo, 17 de julio del año 2022 a las 3:29 a.m. terminé de ver por primera vez este video y antes de comenzar a verlo di el like 3,112 y noté que tenía 165,565 vistas y que el canal tenía 35.6 M de suscriptores. Muchos saludos y bendiciones.
she seems very sweet. this video made me tear up. where is the other one that she did when she wore a black dress/skirt? i can't find it.
Nice.
Você está bem tenha cuidado com essa doença está muito MAL Tenha cuidado por favor

No entiendo una mierda pero la tía es guapísima. Eslava tenía que ser, las mujeres más bellas para mi gusto.
Ok, this was plagiarism from the "Law of attraction". Now, tell us something we don't know.
What is this? It made no sense to me. Kind of jumps around 5-8 different ideas and doesn't seem to really add any value. The title should just be "here is my story" as opposed to the loaded and slightly pretentious "Self determination is freedom and a tool against prejudice"
