The TED story
After I was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer, I began watching TED.com videos to comfort and inspire me. Brene Brown's videos were especially enlightening to me. I organized my first TEDxBethesdaWomen's event to celebrate my 5th year as a survivor. (SASSY was the theme). Ten years later now (2023), I am organizing another one to help women heal and grow after a few very difficult years with the pandemic and civil unrest. AWAKENINGS is our theme!
