Exciting news, I am officially a TEDx Albury 2025 speaker. I have been watching TED since I was a little girl and never imagined that one day I would be sharing my own story on a TED stage.
TED is a global platform devoted to spreading powerful ideas through short, impactful talks. Millions of people around the world watch TED Talks online to be inspired, challenged, and moved, and now I have the honour of being part of it.
I grew up in Taiwan believing I was ugly and never enough. At 19 I moved to Australia and began to see beauty from a new perspective. Yet 73 percent of Australians still wish they could change something about their appearance.
The deepest pain of my life is now my greatest purpose, helping people see their own beauty, rediscover themselves, and appreciate what they were born with. You were not born to be a copy of someone else. Do not be the same, be you.
At TEDxAlbury I will share a model created from my lived experience and grounded in psychology to help people overcome negative body image, rebuild self confidence, and embrace their true selves without feeling pressured to change their appearance.
Thank you to the curators and the selection panel for choosing me and seven other speakers to bring our unique messages to the stage. Only 100 tickets for attendees will be released soon. The TEDx licence keeps the event intimate, so once tickets are sold out, no further seats will be released. If you cannot attend in person, the talks will be available afterwards on TED’s official YouTube channel, where people everywhere can watch and be inspired.
On October 25th I will be speaking at TEDxAlbury and I cannot wait to share this message with you. Subscribe for updates: tedxalbury.com.au
