That’s a wrap on TEDxYouth@ChavisWay—a day of bold ideas, inspiration, connection, and hope. So grateful to this year’s youth speakers and performers for demonstrating the power of stories to transcend boundaries, build bridges, and redefine what it means to be a catalyst for social change.

Went on My Carolina this morning to plug our upcoming TEDxYouth@ChavisWay event and was joined by one of the brilliant youth speakers. If you’re local to Raleigh, be sure to register for this engaging and inspiring (and free!) event.
