TedxTalk Tuesdays // An intern takes the stage
This is it. My final TedxTalk Tuesdays post. This summer has been incredible, and I’m really going to miss my weekly dose of Tedx inspiration. With that said, I’m leaving you all with my favorite TedxTalk post of all time. One that is actually not a TedxTalk at all, but rather a talk that was […]
Becoming visible
It was week one on the job at Invisible Children, and my fellow interns and I had jumped headfirst into the largest event the organization had ever thrown: the 2013 Fourth Estate Leadership Summit.

Live a life focused on involving yourself in the stories of others

5 things I didn’t see coming at the Summit
As a staff member at Invisible Children, I witness the organized chaos that goes into putting on their events. And an event the sheer size and magnitude of the 2013 Fourth Estate Summit?

The Buried Life + Hanger Clinic turned hopes into reality
MTV’s The Buried Life is about a group of four guys who help people achieve the items on their list of things to do before they die. They live by a conviction that anybody can do anything. Last night on the main stage at the Fourth Estate Summit, they proved that to be true, yet […]

Betty Who to play 2013 Fourth Estate Summit
Our obsession with Betty Who started during a game that Jen from The Jane Doze and I play where we try to one-up each other with good music. The goal is to find something that the other person has never heard of but totally falls in love with. When Jen sent me “Somebody Loves You” […]
