I had the pleasure of speaking at TEDxVillanovaU on Friday, October 23, 2015.  I shared the stage with 9 other people who talked about topics including racial bias, stories of Black women who lived prior to Emancipation, biogas, and caregiving for family as they age.  I am happy I didn’t miss out on this opportunity and was able to be part of a larger community of people who took the risk to share their idea worth spreading.  And I looked cute!
Here are (only) 5 lessons I took from the experience:

* Courage comes after you do the thing you are afraid of.
* The energy you put forth is the energy you receive.
* It is okay to want support and affirmation for others.
* Learn to accept compliments and feedback without qualification
* There is Value in Vulnerability.
