"Empowering marginalized voices, can reshape communities and inspire global change. By providing equal access to education and opportunities, we unlock the potential for leadership, innovation, and peace across borders."

"My TED story initially began with my love of public speaking, which inspired me to join the TED community and share my ideas on important global issues. My first TED Talk focused on climate change, a pressing challenge that affects us all and requires urgent action. This experience ignited my passion for using my voice to address critical topics that matter to our world. After that, I shifted my focus to the struggles faced by refugees, emphasizing their resilience and the reasons behind their immigration, such as the denial of education. Through these talks, I’ve aimed to foster empathy and inspire action in addressing these challenges. Now, I’m excited to take my involvement a step further by leading TED events. I believe in the power of sharing ideas to create change, and I am dedicated to building platforms where diverse voices can be heard and impactful discussions can take place.
