Summary

Percy Tussamba was born in Angola, but after a very turbulent time for his family, was forced to leave his home and ended up in the UK. Faced with the challenge of starting a new life in an unfamiliar place, he found a sport that changed his life. Now he wants to share his experience and help build community for other refugees, helping them establish themselves and thrive. Follow along as he prepares and delivers his big idea in a moving TED Talk, bringing him one step closer to making his dream a reality. (This video is part of "My Big Idea," a new series from TED that documents the process of imagining and then creating a TED Talk, featuring first-time speakers and ideas new to the TED stage.)
