Humanity

It was always a dream of mine to be part of the TED community, I organized my first TEDx event in my first year in University, and it was a brilliant, satisfying experience watching inspired eyes and happy faces after we pulled off our event. I love creating uplifting platforms for learning, networking and the spread of transformative ideas.
