Sarah Esperence HERINANDRASANA

My name is Sarah HERINANDRASANA, a trained legal professional, born on February 19, 2004. I am a TEDxer, a Jaycee, a Raikyenne, and a Southupienne—passionate about law, community impact, and personal growth.

I am passionate about creating impact in my community, which is why I am an active member of JCI Toliara and the NGO South Up. I have a deep interest in business books, entrepreneurship, and personal development, always seeking to grow and inspire others. Beyond that, I have a strong passion for ballroom dancing, which allows me to express creativity and discipline. Academically, I am deeply invested in business law, which aligns perfectly with my professional journey. I currently serve as the Manager of a department and legal consultant for the society RAIKY TOLIARA. These passions drive me to keep learning, leading, and making a difference in every field I am involved in.

My favorite TED talk is "Procrastinate on Purpose" by Rory Vaden.

I first discovered TED in 2021, and it immediately sparked my interest. In 2023, as a member of JCI Toliara, I had the opportunity to take my passion further. Our president had the vision to organize a TEDx event, and I was honored to be appointed as the project leader. On August 16, 2023, we officially obtained our TEDx license, marking the beginning of an incredible journey. Together with my dedicated team, we organized TEDx Ankilifaly—the very first TEDx event in Toliara, Madagascar. The event took place on December 16, 2023, at L'Étoile de Mer, creating a historic moment for our community. We hosted six outstanding speakers who delivered impactful talks, and today, our six TEDx talks have collectively reached 60,000 views. To top it all off, at the end of 2024, during the national awards ceremony of JCI Madagascar, our project was recognized as the Best RISE Initiative. This journey with TEDx has been transformative, and I look forward to continuing to share and amplify ideas that matter.
