  "Being a TEDx speaker was the honor of a lifetime. The experience gave me the space to be courageous, reflect on my life, and share a piece of myself with the greater New Haven community and the world. I came away with a powerful network of mentors and friends, as well as a renewed commitment to always speak truth to power. "

"TEDxNew Haven brought together people who care deeply about ideas, community, and change. Moderating one of the sessions gave me a front-row seat to many powerful stories that reminded me of why spaces like TEDx matter, especially in a city like New Haven, where innovation and equity intersect in powerful ways."
