public speaking

1. Find an inspiring video (at least 1 minute long) featuring a single speaker delivering a continuous speech. This could be an actor performing a dramatic monologue in a theatrical production or on film; a stand-up comic doing a set of jokes; a street artist performing spoken word style poetry on some busy street corner; a particularly moving lecture of a professor; a commencement speech; etc.

2. Post the link to this video, or embed it directly in the answer box.

3. The speaker does not have to be well known, but you will have to explain who they are, and describe the context of their address.

4. Give a detailed justification for your selection (explain what was impactful/inspiring about this video).
