TedxYouth@YostPark was something I just decided would happen, then after a lot of hard work it did!

There was a sold-out crowd, over 50 volunteers, hundreds of people watching the live stream and 8 high school-aged speakers.

Also, because of this event, I was asked to speak at TEDxEverett to over 300 people about the impact of amplifying young voices. My talk centered on how my life as changed through finding ways to speak about my story and my desire to give other youth the same opportunity. The theme of my TEDx event was Being Heard because I wanted it to be centered on giving my peers a platform to share their ideas worth spreading.
