I'm often the youngest voice in the room, sometimes the keynote, a badge wear with pride. It's not just about being booked; it's about being re-booked, a testament to the buzz around my talks. Being the youngest means living under the spotlight - making every setback MORE pronounced every success feel amplified. My age brings alongs with it doubts about my expertise, followed by stunned eyebrows and satisfied smiles. It drives me to ace my prep, ensuring my talks aren't just heard but felt, blending information with inspiration to showcase my unique angle. This spotlight isn't just for show; it's my stage for pushing boundaries and sparking change, all while juggling the high-wire act of expectations and scrutiny. This visibility is humbling. It underscores the impact of representation, and the role each of us can play in empowering the next generation of leaders & thinkers. Immersed in a sea of expertise, I'm a sponge, soaking up insights from every direction. And the cherry on top? Inspiring others, especially young dreamers who see a bit of their path in mine. Their messages, a blend of thanks and hope, remind me of my "why." Receiving messages from individuals who share that my story encouraged them to pursue their dreams or speak up in their own circles is a powerful reminder of why I do what do.
