The TED story
I watched my first TED talk with my Step-Mother when I was 12 years old, and have been watching ever since. I became a team member for the very successful TEDxIlala in 2015. From there, me and my co-organizers successfully organized TEDxYouth@Msasani in February 2017. Looking forward to continuing to be part of the TED Community in a variety of ways!
