After listening to your speech I really liked your thesis statement and introductory stage. The thesis statement is extremely solid and clear for me as a viewer, and I believe it sets the tone extremely well for the rest of the commentary. As something to work on for next time are the formatting of the slides. In some, the red background combined with the images made it slightly hard to follow the slides.

In your speech, you presented yourself as confident with clear articulation and bold language, which immediately captured my attention. Unfortunately, I think there were issues with the video so it was hard to watch your physical presentation of the speech. There were clear shifts throughout, though, in terms of the colors used in your slides and transition phrases to create a nice flow that helped me follow along. Some of the pictures and text in the slight were a little blurry and hard to read, which at times made me pay more attention to the slides than the speech itself. However, I liked the way you made a connection with the audience in the conclusion by contextualizing the piece to demand action.

I could tell in your speech that you knew what you were talking about and it was shown through how strong your argument and use of presentation was. I think the use of pictures and background was very bold and next time a softer background would be nicer, but that is not a big deal. Your argument throughout the speech was very strong and I did not have trouble following the speech at any moment. Good job!
