The F word: Empowering the fandom in all of us | Jordan Dinwiddie | TEDxPortland
Fandom: a community of people that share a passion for something.
All fans are not created equal. This talk examines the life lessons and impact of being a “fan,” how it relates to fandom, and calls out the difference between being a “fan” and “fanatic,” which are very different! From comics and cosplay-sports teams and pop culture-creativity and inspiration are all around us.
FAN is a word we should all embrace because loving the things we love, and sharing them with the world unapologetically, is beautiful. We should not shy away from them-they’re part of us and shape who we are. So let your freak flag fly and be a FAN. There’s nothing more audacious, than really being yourself.
Jordan was part of a historic 7,000+ attendee Year 10 experience. After three reschedules due to the Pandemic, our Core Organizing Team persevered through 1,164 days of planning and execution to produce the event for Portland, OR.

I went to elementary with her. She was the smartest person in our class. Probably the tallest, too. So beautiful!
I love everything about this
fans want New people to come in and see and enjoy all of this greatness, fanatics are Gatekeepers, those are the people that hate when their closemindness is chalenged
The best TedX I've ever seen! The power of staying true to yourself. Her light shined the entire time on stage. I knew nothing of fandom before and now I'm super curious and encouraged to explore it further!
love this! Fandom is the small reminder that we can find ourselves in art, and then find community in that!
Take command. You do, and you did. Beautiful job.
wow I liked this ted talk!! she made it personal, was funny and brought up great points
Great talk! Thank you!

Doubly agreed with the 10 lessons so far.
A fan is someone who will be there for you, but you won't be there for them. I prefer a Nakama or a Kazoku. 😭

Really!

Hello there
Hey Ted Audience, I give you a riddle. What have Jeb Bush and this woman in common?... No NO it's not the without-any-context-talk, the lipgloss or the leathal fingernails... it's 3:30
Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things.
WTF
