Tell us about your TEDx experience... I landed the TEDx in the Fall of 2021 in California by way of a reference. That’s why I believe relationships are so important. Immediately, I invested in a coach in preparation for the talk. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to speak about for the TEDx. The thing about TEDx is that it’s not about you promoting you. It’s about promoting a thought or idea that someone can walk away from feeling they have something practical that they can apply to their life.
My coach suggested that we start with what was going on with me at that time in my life to start narrowing down ideas. I had suffered such much loss just to the TEDx. My grandmother, my mother died, and then my brother died about a month prior to me getting with my coach to prepare. I began to talk to my coach, Darryl, about how much we give and how much we do. There are times when as an influencer, we need help too. There, I offered practical tools that everyone can utilize, because everyone is a hero.
