Julienne Oyler, speaking at TED 2025, unveils a future where displacement is a shared destiny, urging swift, transformative action. She draws a poignant picture of the refugee narrative that has long painted these individuals as burdens when, in truth, they are untapped wells of innovation and resilience often left unnoticed by the conventional investment gaze. Through transformative examples from countries like Uganda, Ethiopia, and Rwanda, Oyler illuminates the potential hidden within displaced communities, asserting that "humanity flourishes when people have the tools to succeed." Her call to action resonates deeply: to rethink capitalism as inclusive, to see displaced people as viable contributors, and to shift narratives toward stories of resilience and partnership. Her message is clear: the future holds the solutions within those most affected, and it's everyone's role to see and foster that potential.
