Please give a warm welcome to the stage, Natasha Pearl Hansen. When my wedding was called off three weeks before the big day, >> I did what any reasonable person would do. I filmed a comedy special at the venue on what would have been my wedding day with all my invited guests in attendance. [Applause] What can I say? It was a smart move.

While this is where my story begins, it's not where [music] it ends. And the voice you're hearing today, it doesn't just belong. It belongs [music] to every survivor who was forced to stay silent, [music] to stay alive. Thank you for sharing th ...

Something feels off in our bodies, in our neighborhoods, in the way we live our days. It's not just that we're tired. It's that we're disconnected. disconnected from stillness, from each other, from ourselves, and from the natural world that once gave our lives rhythm. But this didn't just happen to us.

No, they actually turn toward each other and they pass light back and forth until the sun returns.Now, when I originally heard that, I thought, "What an amazing way to describe community and support." And we should be living that way. But somewhere along the way, I think we forgot. See, we keep getting sold this story that strength equals silence.You must disappear, working on ...

This is how my story began. Not in a laboratory, not in a boardroom, but with a paintbrush in my hand in a group of children in Zanzibar who had forgotten how to smile. We didn't share a language, but we shared something deeper.The need to heal. As colors began to fill in the room, I saw something extraordinary. Children who had been quiet started to laugh.Tears turned into pictures. and the pain turned into a possibility. And I learned something that day I'll never forget.Healing isn't only about medicine. ...

I'm a little bit nervous. I'm going to start doing some jumping jacks and some things just to get it off. My name is Valeria Murio. I'm a Colombian and today I'm here to share my story. Someone said once that we don't stop moving because we grow old, but we grow old because we stop moving. I want to show you something. If I will give you this bottle of water to hold it for 10 seconds, that will be pretty easy, right? If I will give it to you to hold it for 10 minutes, it's going to start to get heavier. And ...
