I love TED! I was lucky to attend TEDActive in 2011 for work, and to attend several TEDx events around Atlanta since then. I was also honored to speak at a couple TEDWomen events in Atlanta in 2014 and 2015. This year, I am so excited to be helping lead a workshop at TEDWomen in New Orleans with my mom! We both love nothing more than making new friends and can't wait to connect with y'all.
