My name is Shixuan “Nini” Li and I am the licensed Organizer and Executive Producer of TEDxYouth@WalterMurrayCollegiate! I am currently a Walter Murray student in junior year with an unrelenting passion for the fine arts, sciences and public speaking. My enthusiasm for both TED and TEDx talks began at a young age, eventually leading to my speech for TEDxYouth@PickeringCollege on April 6th, 2022. Inspired by the young leaders of that successful event, I chose to bring TEDx to my school, aspiring to provide the right stage for individuals to change the world with their unique notions. With the expertise of our brilliant team, I’m confident that our arrow will hit the target of TEDx’s vision with precision and force.

Being “enough” for others is impossible, so the key to true success is striving to be enough for yourself.

I cannot recall when my TED journey started, though I do know recall that it was one of my teachers in elementary school who showed our class my first TED talk. From then on, I have viewed talks on the regular. I was a speaker at the TEDxYouth@PickeringCollege event on April 6th, 2022. Inspired by the young organizers of that particular event, I am currently the licensee for the TEDxYouth@WalterMurrayCollegiate event which will be hosted on May 26th, 2023.
