Homelessness Solutions & The Struggles of Voiceless Women | Louise Mbella | TEDxDelthorneWomen

TEDWomen is a TED event curated by TED that focuses on women and women’s issues. TEDxWomen events are TEDx events that follow the live webcast of TEDWomen, and also feature live and local speakers. Our event is called TEDxDelthorneWomen and we are one of the many TEDx events that will happen around the world on November 30th. We will expand upon the ideas brought up at TEDWomen, while also relating it back to the Women of Los Angeles. TEDxDelthorneWomen was organized by Eraina Ferguson, a tech entrepreneur and journalist. Never miss a talk! SUBSCRIBE to the TEDx channel: In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Louise Mbella “Sinai” also called (Frenchy) is a Native of the City of Créteil in France born and raised. She is a proud immigrant of Los Angeles where she advocates for Homeless Rights, Human Rights, Social Projects fostering Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, Empowerment and more. With a French Degree in Economics and Social Sciences, and a Certificate in The Humanities from a U.S academic institution, her advocacy work on behalf of the homeless in Downtown Los Angeles, particularly Skidrow, is significant.
Having overcome trauma homelessness and oppression herself, she highlights the importance of listening to the voices of survivors particularly those experiencing homelessness, scarcity, violence. She feels that making them part of the conversation and solutions of our social issues directly impacting them is important.
Her message suggests the necessity to go beyond just providing shelters and low income permanent supportive housing as an answer to the homeless crisis. She stresses the importance of creating social curriculum platforms while transforming the minds of men and women, as a fundamental element for helping end homelessness. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
