Art Is My Mirror
A TED-style talk on vulnerability, identity, and the healing power of art
This video is from a TED-style talk I delivered in New York City in 2023, on a stage in front of a full auditorium. It is the most vulnerable I have ever been on stage—sharing my story through art, loss, healing, and the courage it takes to truly show up.

Why This Talk Matters
Showing Up
The courage to be seen even when it feels uncomfortable or uncertain.
Vulnerability
The act of sharing our truth, knowing it may be met with judgment, but choosing honesty anyway.
Art as Healing
How creativity became my mirror, my refuge, and my way back to myself.
