I co-hosted TEDx Portsmouth!
“One of the biggest TEDx events in the country, TEDxPortsmouth is an immersive, full-day event showcasing a diverse lineup of inspiring speakers, rousing artistic performances, local food and more. This 100% volunteer-run annual event is where the Seacoast comes together to connect and explore big ideas — science, the arts, the environment, humanity, entrepreneurship — in a shared experience emphasizing community, conversation, and inspiration. TEDxPortsmouth garners not only a huge local following, but a global reach with speaker videos generating more than a million views (and counting!).”
The theme for 2025 was WHAT IF?
This was an incredible time, and perhaps the greatest honor of my life. I got to stand on stage in front of 900 people and cheerlead 14 extraordinary locals doing interesting postive things. Shout out to my amazing co-host Latonya Wallace, the TEDx Portsmouth team, the team at the Music Hall, and all of the sponsors and partners for making this so easy and fun.
Here is a piece I wrote about this experience and what it meant to me.
