I've always been proud to have been born on the Mississippi Delta, a place known as much for its racial inequality as for its people who refuse to be defined by it. A first generation USborn daughter of Mexican immigrants, I experienced life school differently. I was a migrant student.My parents traveled from state to state in search of seasonal agricultural work. We didn't have a whole lot of stability. So when I talk about school, I don't talk about it as an institution. I talk about it as a constant in a ...

Estaba viviendo el sueño, solo que no era el mío. Tenía el tipo de trabajo que todo el mundo te dice que nunca deberías dejar. Sobre el papel todo parecía perfecto, buen puesto, buen salario, buen futuro, pero por dentro me sentía atrapado.Sentimiento acá. Y mira, cada mañana había una presión silenciosa en mi pecho que susurraba, "¿Qué estás haciendo? Esto no es tu vida." Sí, pero mira, la idea de irme no se sentía heroica en absoluto, era aterradora. Y así que me quedé.Pero un día, muchos, muchos meses de ...

Hace años que estoy obsesionada con una pregunta. ¿Por qué tantas personas dicen que perdieron el deseo sexual? Pasé por dos neurocirugías, un cáncer de mama reciente, tratamientos invasivos, cicatrices que todavía les aseguro duelen acá y nunca perdí el deseo. Mi cuerpo estuvo anestesiado, dolorido, con miedo y, por supuesto, hubo momentos en que el cuerpo no respondía, pero sin embargo el deseo seguía acá. Hace 19 años que trabajo eh con personas y temas de sexualidad y cuando llegan personas a mi consult ...

What if the most powerful mentor you've ever had wasn't a person. The human mind is an astonishing thing. A network of invisible algorithms, habits, loops, and blind spots all run in the background, quietly rewriting your well-being.One day, stuck inside a spiral I already lived a hund times, I asked a machine a question. And somehow that moment began to reprogram me. Now, as hilarious as it sounds, stay with me because by the end of this talk, you won't gain machine skills, but something far more valuable. ...

How does the silence feel to you. Let's be honest for a second. Is it a bit strange.Did some of you think, "Uh-oh, did the mic die? Or did she forget her first line already?" We feel this way because most of us have been trained to fear even 10 seconds of nothing. When someone steps onto a red circle, we expect noise right away. A joke, a story, a big idea, talking, performing, filling the air.Somewhere along the way, we quietly decided this is the default. This is what we call normal. But here is the stran ...

In his speech, Naveenramakrishnan questions our culture of overwork, and how that has impacted our identities. He argues that true wellbeing begins with an awareness of how to fight against these pressures, inviting people to resist unhealthy patterns and reclaim a more grounded, intentional way of living. As we run around a world where our thoughts revolve around overworking, overstimulation and losing yourself, I belive it's time we rebel against it through the awareness of our wellbeing. This talk was gi ...

The main idea of her talk is how she was able to overcome the challenge of learning English when she couldn't understand anything and speak it as well as others. She didn't want that to define her so she decided to work really hard, and they started seeing the real her. In her speech, she wants the people to know that others don't shape who you are, you do. Rahee Park is a middle school student in 8th grade, interested in public speaking, debate, sports, especially skiing and cheerleading. She enjoys giving ...

One, two, three, four, five, and six years. For six years, I've been playing the cello. And during those years, I've noticed something about myself. I've noticed that I'm an enthusiastic beaver.Not because I like trees, but because beavers don't build a dime all at once. They carry small pieces one by one. And for a long time, nothing changes.But one day, there's a massive dam. That's how I practice the cello. When something doesn't work, I don't just walk away.I stay with it until it works. The cello has b ...
