TEDxYouth@SanDiego - Liz Murray

With an extraordinary story of triumph - going from homeless to Harvard - Liz Murray changes our perspective of hardship and despair by celebrating the opportunity and possibility of renewal that comes with every drawback in life. Her infectious attitude and fresh perspective on adversity are the highlights of this inspiring talk. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
