My TED journey began with the awe-inspiring experience of watching TED Talks online, where ideas transcended boundaries, igniting a desire to contribute to this global dialogue. This inspiration led me to pursue a TEDx license, aiming to become an organizer and create a platform for sharing groundbreaking ideas in my community. My vision is to empower voices, especially those of the youth, to share ideas that have the power to inspire change and foster global understanding.
