tedx talk today

tedx talk: done. i did not blank out, i remembered all the sections of my presentation and i was able to navigate all my slides. can’t know for sure how i did until i see the video, but phew. i know many of u, my dear friends, were thinking of me/sending me good vibes. i owe u big time. here’s a lovely endorsement by one of my fellow speakers, the beautiful lesli myers, superintendent of schools in brockport, who spoke powerfully about hate and ignorance and shared the traumatic story of how her grandfather was lynched when her mother was 3 years old. an extremely diverse line-up of speakers and some thought-provoking, honest truth-telling. well done rochester!
