My TEDx Talk
My post content
This year has been nothing short of transformative. One of the most impactful experiences was being invited to speak on the TEDx stage to share my story through a talk titled, “How to Flex Your Determination Muscle.” After being laid off from my radio career last year, I found myself at a crossroads. Instead of letting that moment define me, I saw it as an opportunity to tap into my own determination, lean on the support of my community, and build something even stronger from the ground up.
In my TEDx talk, I delve into how challenges can be reframed as stepping stones rather than setbacks. I also reflect on the power of resilience, the importance of embracing change, and how leaning into your personal drive can turn uncertainty into newfound strength.
I’m incredibly grateful to TEDx for the chance to share my journey and to Prince Williams, Amanda Holder, and Stephen Heraldo for standing by me through it all. Their support and encouragement played a pivotal role in helping me craft and deliver this message to the world. This TEDx experience has solidified one of my biggest takeaways: Determination is like a muscle—the more you flex it, the stronger it gets.
