🚀 Exclusive Blog: My TEDx Journey & Why I Need YOU On This Path

Dear Community,

I’m beyond excited to share some huge news with you: TEDx has officially launched their Global Idea Search 2025 and I’ve put myself forward to share an idea that I believe can transform communities, challenge the status quo, and spark global conversations.

This is not just any opportunity. This is the chance to speak on the main TED stage in Vancouver in April 2026, under the theme: All of Us. Imagine that: a global platform where millions tune in, and where our shared ideas can travel further than ever before.

But here’s the truth: I can’t walk this journey alone. I want to bring YOU with me. And the way to do that is through this Patreon community.
