Survival of the Unfittest | Maysoon Zayid | Talks at Google

Comedian, writer, actress, tap dancer, and disability advocate Maysoon Zayid should have died the day she was born but somehow she survived. In her talk, “Survival of the Unfittest,” Maysoon uses humor to share her story and advice no one wants to here about how we can fix our broken world. Maysoon was born and raised in the great state of NJ and spent her summers in the Holy Land. She grew up oblivious to the reality that being brown, Muslim, disabled, Palestinian, and a girl would make her the target of hate, violence, bullying and discrimination as an adult. Raised by parents who taught her to think big, Maysoon dreamt of being on the legendary daytime soap opera, General Hospital. She soon realized that winning the minority Olympics was not a good thing in Hollywood. On air talent with visible disabilities were almost non existent in entertainment and broadcast news. The few times they did appear they were not people of color. Despite the odds being against her, Maysoon managed to become a happy, healthy, successful stand up comedian who sold out shows worldwide. Her clips online have millions of views. Maysoon has appeared in multiple films, documentaries, and TV shows but she remained on the Z-list, shunned by main stream media because she was an other. A lifelong tap dancer, Maysoon’s mantra is, “ Yes I cancan,” but fighting for equality for all not just for some often left her feeling run over in the intersection of intersectionality until she started cheering for herself. Its not easy being green but it definitely makes life more interesting. “Survival of the Unfittest," will make you laugh and believe that together we cancan defeat the dark side and fix this broken world.
