[Applause] I've been a criminal defense lawyer for 13 years. I've worked on all types of cases from a speeding ticket to manslaughter and everything in between. I've learned a lot in my career and I wanted to share some of those things with you today.There are three basic roles of a criminal defense lawyer. First is a guide through the complex and idiosyncratic legal system. Second is as a storyteller outlining the client's unique circumstances and situations. And third is as a combatant using cross-examina ...

[Music] [Applause] All right. Good evening, everyone. >> I remember the night my parents got all dressed up for Charlie's Bar and Grill. They left laughing and pretending that everything was fine. But by the end of that night, my mother lay bleeding on the floor of that bar. Humiliated, alone, and abandoned by every single witness. She came home bruised, swollen, and wrapped in silence. And then she sat before her Buddhist altar and she began chanting namo heno so powerful as if her voice could carve a door ...

[Music] [Applause] It was a Saturday morning and mama and papa as they always were sitting down having breakfast but papa would get up and come and see and check on me and VC he would say it's time for you to hurry up and get yourself together and I knew exactly what that meant. It was time for dance class. Corine Morris Williams Dance School located at 2345 Grant Street right here in the great city of Gary, Indiana.And today it is Dance Excel owned by my dear friend and classmate Dr. . Deion Champion and a ...

[Music] [Applause] Have you ever been in a room full of people and still felt completely alone. I'm sure everyone in this room has experienced this feeling at least once in their life. My name is Christy and for me it was freshman year.My first lecture was at 8:00 a. m. sharp, and of course, I showed up at 7:30, hoping that being early would calm my nerves.I parked my car, took a deep breath, and stepped out of my PT cruiser into the hot, humid, August air. Immediately, I started sweating. My baby hair star ...

My favorite hobby is looking back at all my absurd thoughts, aka flipping through all of my old journal entries. I actually do this quite often. I love to look back and see what minuscule thing had me panicking 3 years ago or what little comment brought me joy 5 months ago.And if you go back to my very first journal entry, you'll see that it was dated for April 17th, 2020. And since then, I've collected stacks of journals, bought so much stationery, and have tried almost every journaling method you could po ...

Take a look at this picture. What do you see. Some may say a messy motel. Some may say a place that is uninhabitable. Some may say a place that they never want to go to.For me, this was my home. Not once, not twice, but multiple times throughout my life. As a matter of fact, this time last year, I was living in a space that looked exactly like this.You may be wondering, how did I get from there to here. Well, through my incredible support group of friends and family and the concept of mental reframing, I wa ...

As Eric Hoffer once wrote, "The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness." I grew up chasing a version of happiness that everyone told me was the ideal version. I believed that checking all the right boxes would somehow make me feel fulfilled. But in reality, I felt more disconnected from myself.I'm not someone who has it all figured out. I'm simply someone living through the mess. This talk isn't about perfection, but about being honest and admitting happiness isn't a destination, bu ...
