The TED story
My TED journey started online during COVID-19 by listening to TED talks. The first one being "The first 20 hours - how to learn anything" by Josh Kaufman, considering just the beginning of my journey it was inspirational. It left an impact on me because it encouraged consistency and also the fact that expertise in any aspect can be achieved by deliberate action even if you are an amateur. In 2021, I participated in TEDxGCULahore (my first-ever University style event) as a core team member and got a chance to learn and observe diverse ideas from diverse minds. In the year 2023, being the license holder I aim to create awareness, initiate a dialogue around important and diverse topics, encourage change, inspire my community, and create an impact.
