Shaima Elsir is a prospecting engineer at UMST, studying biomedical engineering although her true passion was to enroll in the college of Genetic Engineering. She has lived her whole life in the UAE. She’s a very good basketball player and is a very outgoing and selfless person. About her idea Shaima said:” Well it’s just because I’m suffering from those around me who “Judge a book by its cover” and there are many!” .She think it’s time to address this issue by showing people the other side of the story so they can judge fairly and more accurately. She has been stereotyped by her appearance and doesn’t want other people to have to go through that any longer. ” It’s time for a change, it’s time to stand for what i believe is right, it’s time to make a difference… it’s time to let the world hear what i have to say at TEDxYouth@Khartoum!”
