Let me start by setting a scene that I think will sound very familiar. The year is 1969. After years of research, development, and testing, a 4-day mission successfully lands on the moon.The world watches, huddled around their television sets as the first human to reach the surface, climbs out of the lander. He jumps off the last rung, lands on the lunar surface, and delivers a message meant to echo throughout all history. I take the step for my country, for my people, and for the Marxist Leninist way of li ...

I'm 17 years old. I just stepped off my very first flight with a guitar in one hand and a suitcase full of swimsuits and sandals in the other. I was born and raised in Southern California, so naturally I packed for a beach.The destination, Music City, Nashville, Tennessee in January. My local host, a sweet woman with a southern draw thick enough to spread on toast, took one look at me and said, "Well, good lord, honey. It is colder than a witch's titty in a brass bra out here. Where's your coat, sugar?" And ...

We live in a world where it's far too easy to feel small. To feel like you and your actions don't matter. Because after all, you're just one average person in a sea of billions.That only people in positions of power like the wealthy or politicians are capable of making tangible changes towards betterment of our world. But you matter. It is you and everyone else in this room and beyond who are capable of making that change or at least a positive impact in the lives of others.Think about this for a moment. Ho ...

Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs and that is the risk of doing nothing, said author Dennis Weightley. Without risk, we would have almost nothing.But with it, we can accomplish anything. But the one thing standing between us and taking risks is the fear of failure. It holds us back from trying new things because we're afraid of not being good enough.Think about a time you had a project, suggestion, or idea. Yet, you kept it to yourself because you didn't want ...

Hi everyone, my name is Inulua Shivik, but most people call me Ini. My talk today is about education as a tool for change. In 2024, I spent more time in Stormman than I ever did in a classroom.That's something no young person should ever have to say, but that was my reality. After receiving over a 100 rejection emails, I thought to myself, I may never achieve the goal of ever going to school. But I never backed down.Every message sounded the same. Sorry, we don't have a place for you. Unfortunately, there's ...

When you think of your social media feed, what do you see. If you asked me this question a month ago, I would see flashy, controversial captions with the comments echoing hatred, outrage, cancel culture, anything but positivity. Some of the people in this room are strangers, but I also see my peers and my teachers.If I had to be up here talking any sooner, I would be too self-conscious and just imagine what everyone here is thinking of me. Because that's what social media does. It can really change our outl ...

When I was a little girl, people used to tell me I could be anything. An astronaut, a pop star, maybe even the next Steve Jobs. But somewhere in between, you can be anything and you can be anything except something changes.We go from being celebrated for our confidence to being cautioned for it. The same boldness, curiosity, and ambition that were once praised at age 8 somehow become too much by the time we're 18. The world celebrates girls until we grow up.When we're younger, we're told to speak up and dre ...
