What Does Reniqua Allen Say a Millennial's Mannerisms Can Reveal?
at 0:00
Answer
On TED Talks Daily, Reniqua Allen describes Troy, a young man who looks like the millennial of a think piece: arrogant, self-centered, and sure he is smarter than people credit, talking about girls, sneakers, and cars. His mannerisms, she says, tell a different story. They show someone scared, troubled, and unsure of the future. Troy had caddied at a country club where members ignored him, sold sneakers on Facebook, and sold candy and water, without earning enough to help his Jamaican immigrant mother or save for a car. He turned to selling drugs, got caught, and told Allen he wanted stability and a good life, then got greedy. He was still trying to find a next step.
