Have you ever had a person in your life that made you feel whole. Who made you feel seen and special. Have you ever had someone in your life whose words and actions had a lasting impact on your life.Well, for me growing up, that person was my auntie Satie. She did so much for our family and she played such a huge role in my life. Well, for most of her life, my auntie Satie battled with breast cancer.Eventually, she went into remission, but about 30 years later, her cancer came back and sadly she passed away ...

[applause] I'm thinking of a word. A word that resonates with you and with me. It's something we carry often without thinking.It shapes how we live, how we love, and how we survive. Any guesses. That word is culture.One word, but so powerful. It reaches into how we celebrate, what we eat, how we mourn, what we value, and the tools of survival we pass on to the next generation. I am a congalles final year medical student and I'm here because those tools, those values kept the people before me alive.And for m ...

My name is Leah Thomas. I'm a transgender woman and a swimmer. I swam for the University of Pennsylvania where I made waves as the first transgender person to be named NCAA Division 1 champion. [applause] My competition in the women's category sparked immense controversy. Thousands of words have been written about me, my body, and how I and other trans women should participate in sports. Many of you in the audience may have read some of these and hold your own views on transincclusion. But today, I don't wa ...

doctor, author, professor, mentor. Titles that sound impressive, titles that sound permanent. But here's what I have learned with time.They keep changing. And so do I. My story isn't extraordinary.It's just like an ordinary girl next door shaped by sweet and salty mixes of achievements and struggles. But that's the thing that even today that everything I have become I don't think I'm close to done. Not because something is missing but because growth doesn't seize at a milestone.Our life is editable, doable, ...

Sorry, that's not what I was going for, but thank you. >> I spent most of the summer of 2024 following the presidential election. Partially because yes, the next four years could very well be affected by the outcome, but most importantly because of gold miner memes.Like remember this pec human innovation. I remember one morning I woke up to a headline about Donald Trump's interview with the National Association of Black Journalists. And when I pressed the link, this line about Kla Harris's biraciality was b ...

So every every year more than half a billion Hindus we go to temples and we worship. We offer nature in its purest form that is flowers to our gods. But hardly does anyone think what happens to these flowers afterwards.Sadly, these sacred flowers are dumped into water bodies like the river Ganges. Every year we Indians put in about 8 million metric tons of waste flowers in the river Ganges. Flowers that are loaded with pesticides and insecticides. Flowers that rot.flowers that create a havoc in the fragile ...

It leads to a lot of clarity, lack of clarity in terms of how we're going to show up, how we're going to be the best version of ourselves, the decisions that we're going to make. Um, and a lot of the time this leads to a common paradox. And the paradox um essentially is the more you wait for making decisions or really just thinking throug ...
