I start this story off in 2021. When a naive junior at Morehouse College came across an email that Morehouse would be hosting a series of TEDx talks. I decided that I was going to see how I could participate. I soon realized that doing a TED talk took more than a few weeks of preparation. So, I decided to assist where I could and enjoy the process. Fast forward to 2024…and here I am! Talking to you as a recent TEDx speaker. I have found the things I am the most thankful for are the ones for which I had to work hardest and wait the longest. God knows best when we are ready to receive His gifts and share them in a way that will positively impact the world. I’m riding out a high that Instagram can’t fulfill! I made my family proud. Grateful! Huge thanks to Dr. Mendenhaul for being a catalyst in this entire process. The vision behind everything TedX related. She’s a true superhero in my book! Another huge thanks to Tamara Brummer, my speaker coach, who listened to me change my idea every damn day. I appreciate you challenging me to make the most vulnerable and life-changing speech possible. Lastly, a huge thanks to my family for listening to the constant rambling. I truly appreciate the consistent love and effort❤️ . At 22 I’m sitting in my bed thinking “What the hell is next?!”
