It’s actually out. 🥹
My TEDx talk, “Breaking the silence women inherit”, is now live.
I’ve been waiting to share this one because this talk is so deeply connected to the work I’ve been doing for years, the things we inherit from our families, our cultures, our histories, and the things we learn to carry.
Breaking the silence women inherit.
At the heart of the talk is a question I’ve been sitting with for a long time:
What if some of what we call culture is actually inherited survival?
For me, this was never just about getting on a TEDx stage.
It’s for the women who came before me, and the women who will come after me.
Especially my girls. ❤️
This is just a little piece of it.
The full talk is now live, you can find the link in my bio.
If you watch it and something makes you stop, question something you’ve always accepted, or think about the women in your own family, tell me
