I had a young six-year-old who came in with a gunshot wound. He walked in, his mom brought him with a non-life-threatening injury, but could have been so much worse. No child should ever go through that.>> And what is it like treating people you know. >> Well, when we first got the call, we knew it was one of our residents who called us, so we knew he was there. We didn't know that he was injured.That's what breaks your heart, too. someone you know, you care about, you work with every day is hurt and went t ...

Migué de México a este país con mi mamá y con mis dos hermanos menores a la edad de 16 años. No sabía inglés, no sabía las reglas de este país, no sabía dónde íbamos a vivir o cómo íbamos a sobrevivir sin nuestra familia y amigos. En esta migración perdí acceso a mi abuela, a mis primos, amigos, a mi comida favorita.Tenía tanto miedo, miedo de hablar inglés, miedo a mi acento, miedo a ser diferente, miedo a ser criticada por rechazarla. Como la hija mayor, fingí estar bien. Lo único que sabía era que teníam ...

[Music] [Applause] When I woke up on Tuesday morning, I wasn't in my bed. I wasn't in my cozy little house with my loving partner and the kids just down the hall. I wasn't even in 2024.When I woke up on Tuesday morning, my body thought that I was seven years old again, that I was riding my bike around my grandparents condo watching my sister, she was one at the time, take a gulp from her steppy cup, and that I was going to relive seeing my sister get abducted again. I remember everything about that day. The ...

[Music] [Music] Six bombs at 6 a.m. They changed my life forever. The sound isn't like the movies. It's a a rumble that starts in your chest, travels through your bones, stops your heart. Your body knows before your mind does. This is real danger. That rumble in your chest. You know that feeling. Maybe it's when you got the phone call that changed everything. Maybe it's when you realize your world was about to fall apart. Your body knew before your mind did. But those bombs didn't break me. They revealed me ...

[Applause] I told you that the very experiences that breaks us are some of those things that could forge us into strong people. So by show of hand, who here has experienced one form of trauma or the other. Really.Okay. So probably at the end of my TED talk, you would realize that you have gone through one form of trauma or the other. I'll tell you a story.So, there was this girl, a typical daddy's girl, had everything going for her, typical daddy's princess. And then COVID hit. And then she had to spend two ...

On January 17th, 2007, I was a geeky 13-year-old sitting in the passenger seat of a police car. I was being escorted from my school to the detective's office. I remember being terrified that I'd be placed in the back seat.My mother had many times recounted to me the horrors of the backseat of a police car, the hard plastic seats and the stench of vomit. I was afraid that I had done something wrong for turning in my sexually abusive father. But thankfully, the kind officer let me ride shotgun and gave me a t ...

[Applause] When you first enter my room, you immediately encounter a marquee box with the phrase remember the sting sitting on top of the dresser in front of my bed. It's a reference to the summer of 2023 when I was stung by bee for the first time. I also lost my mind.That summer, I developed psychosis, which is defined as a disconnect from reality characterized by symptoms including but not limited to grandio thinking, erratic behavior, violent tendencies, and fragmented thought patterns. In psychosis, unr ...

[Music] Let me tell you a story. It's got drama, trauma, and plot twists worthy of any Netflix series. Except this doesn't come with a pause button or a skip button.This is real. It's a story of a girl born into abandonment. The woman who birthed her passed away the day she was born.The man who brought her into this world chose to leave her behind. But someone else chose her. The girl's maternal grandparents along with their daughter and son-in-law who had just become parents themselves.Hence they said yes ...
