Inside my dressing room at TEDxKC

I arrived home last week from the USA where I was speaking at my first TED event…TEDxKC. It was an absolutely awesome experience and I feel blessed to have been given the opportunity to share my story and ideas with such a warm and responsive audience.

The venue was the newly inaugurated Kauffman center for performing arts, which is a stunning and beautiful building in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. At first glance it reminded me of the Sydney Opera House which I thought was a perfect connection for me.

The day before our performance, I was taken through the building and shown to my dressing room. Wow! My own dressing room…I couldn’t believe it. Complete with bathroom, couch and a huge mirror framed by lights just like you see in the movies. I even had my name outside the door!

So just to give everyone at home and inside glimpse of backstage at TEDxKC, I made a short video of my dressing room which I have posted below.

The link for my talk will be up in a few days which I will post for all who missed the livestream.

I will be sharing more on my TED experience when the link is up so stay tuned!
