The world today is fast moving in everything except breaking the very absurd and long prevalent social constructs, the sterotyped gender specific attributes, especially directed at men. Riyas salim in this TEDx platform unearths these deep rooted stigma and with well grounded reasons testifies how the so called "unnaturals" in a person is reality is not what defines them but determines the extent to which a person stands out from a crowd. Riyas Salim is a social media influencer, who was also a finalist on a popular reality TV show, and a singer who came into the spotlight through his videos on TikTok, Instagram, and later YouTube. He is a natural entertainer and showstopper who has acted as a shift in perspective for the masses.

It's no surprise that Riyas loves to sing, but he also actively promotes feminism and advocates on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community through his social platforms. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
