I discovered TED through a community social website back in 2008, and since then I have been an active user and have been there since this encounter leads me to start thinking to become an ambassador of TED and help to spread the word on this side of the globe. Luanda is a very exciting and moving city, as the country moves forward to its best ever reconstruction and development of new infra-instruction, its good to get the best around the globe and share with all, this way they can have the opportunity to get connected with the universe by this innovative, inspiring window of mind-blowing sources, TED. By making this amazing mind-spinning event, we actually help our communities get in the spotlight in accordance with TED Ideas Worth Spreading.

Speaking issues that I am passionate about, facilitator, culture advocacy, arts, community building, brand, and design to the core.
