@Valerialvaarez, Organizer of #TedxWynwoodWomen and Founder of Modern Women, a non-profit org aimed at empowering women through story telling and community as well as providing middle and high school girls the knowledge and skills to grow into the best version of themselves. Val shares the personal struggle that inspired her work — one that she hid for many years — and how once she opened up, she felt much happier, stronger and at peace. Now she’s inspiring other women to do the same.
