I watched Chimamanda Adichie's TED talk, "The Dangers of a Single Story," sometime in 2010, and it simply blew me away. After hearing her talk, I was insatiable. I had to watch several other TED talks. I watched several other TED talks until I stumbled on the call out for TEDx Ikenegbu volunteers in January 2020. Since then, I have volunteered every year for TEDx Ikenegbu. I’m now looking forward to hosting TEDxOrji Women in my community, as a Licensee.
