The big event for August was an invitation from TEDx to be a speaker at their first ever event in Rwanda.
Such an honor. I accepted the invitation and the fun began. There were several meetings for this event to happen. Meeting the staff was a highlight. They are an amazing group of young people.
Preparing a written talk was a challenge. I am an "off the top of your head" speaker and I found it difficult to write what I would say. The TEDx committee worked with me and accepted a brief of what I wanted to say and let me do my thing. I think it went well. August 9 it happened on a roof top in Kigali City. It was awesome.
