If 40 people donate $50, we'll reach our fundraising goal!!

When I first started public speaking, I was a wreck. It was absolutely terrifying to speak my thoughts aloud to audiences of hundreds, and I only wish I had a mentor to guide me through the process and maximize my impact and footprint in the world.

I'm older now (and I'd like to think a bit more wiser), and I want to give other students the opportunity I never had-- to fulfill their speaking goals, up there on the TEDx stage. As a TEDx alumni, I aim to work one-on-one with these students before they go up on the stage, as well as host entrepreneurial-focused workshops and events in London. These will be held at the local secondary schools, helping them jumpstart their entrepreneurial careers.

As a 17-year-old, I wish I had access to these resources when I first started. Now, I'm building this to reality, but I need your help.

We're raising funds to bring TEDx alumni to London in March, creating a unique mentorship opportunity for student speakers at TEDxShaftesburyUK. This initiative is all about empowering young minds to share their ideas with confidence and impact. Your support will cover travel, accommodation, and essential resources for these aspiring speakers. Help us nurture the voices of tomorrow by donating to our GoFundMe campaign. Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to making TEDx Shaftesbury an unforgettable experience for both speakers and attendees.
