What initially drew you to TEDx?

When I first came across TEDx, it wasn’t the fancy talks or well-known speakers that caught my attention. It was the idea behind it—how TEDx gives a platform to people with big ideas and even bigger passion. TEDx isn’t just about giving speeches; it’s a movement that celebrates curiosity, creativity, and honest conversations. It’s a place where anyone with something important to share, no matter their background, can stand up and be heard. To me, that’s what makes TEDx so special. It’s not just about learning—it’s about sparking real change.
I’ve always loved being in environments where new ideas are encouraged and where people aren’t afraid to question the usual way of thinking. TEDx felt like the perfect place for me to learn, connect, and contribute to a conversation that could make a difference in the world. It’s a space where curiosity is welcomed, creativity is celebrated, and most importantly, where open conversations lead to real action. And the fact that TEDx reaches such a wide global audience? That’s something that really resonated with me—I wanted to be part of something bigger than just myself.

What transformative idea do you hope to share or inspire?

If there’s one idea I’d love to share with the TEDx community, it’s this: It’s okay to be uncertain. So many of us feel pressured to have everything figured out, to have a clear path, and to always know what’s next. But the truth is, life doesn’t always work that way—and that’s perfectly fine.
For me, some of my most significant growth moments came when I didn’t know what was coming next. Instead of fearing uncertainty, I began to see it as a chance to explore. It was during those uncertain times that I discovered new opportunities, found strengths I didn’t know I had, and grew in ways I couldn’t have imagined.
I want to encourage people to stop chasing after the illusion of having everything under control. It’s okay not to have all the answers. What’s more important is to take the next step, even if you don’t have it all planned out. It’s about moving forward, even when you don’t know exactly where you’re headed. That’s where real growth happens.

What does “ideas worth spreading” mean to you personally?

When I think about the phrase “ideas worth spreading,” it really hits home for me. It’s not about huge, world-changing ideas (though those are important too); it’s about ideas that make you think. Ideas that challenge the way you see things, spark a conversation, or open your mind in some way, even if it’s just a little shift in perspective.
To me, an idea worth spreading is one that stays with you. It’s the kind of idea that makes you think about life a little differently, that makes you reconsider your approach to something. You don’t always need a groundbreaking idea—sometimes it’s the smallest, simplest ideas that can inspire the biggest changes in how we think or act.

How do you see TEDxParadeplatz contributing to broader societal conversations?

TEDxParadeplatz, to me, is a space where people from all kinds of backgrounds and perspectives can come together and share their stories. In a world that often prioritizes mainstream opinions, TEDx gives voice to ideas that might otherwise get overlooked. It’s not just about individual talks—it’s about the conversations that arise from those talks.
By featuring voices that challenge the norm, spark curiosity, and push boundaries, TEDxParadeplatz encourages us all to see things from different angles and think more openly. It’s a place that invites exploration, asks tough questions, and ignites change.
This kind of conversation—one that encourages openness and the sharing of ideas—is exactly what we need to make progress as a society.
