ABOUT THE TALK
We live in a world where it can be easier to say No than Yes. We also live in a world beset with complex problems lacking easy answers. Saying Yes to new ideas within this context can be risky, but can also lead to creative new opportunities and inspiration.
Hear about how a provocative idea has traveled from Vancouver to the developing world, sparking a deeper conversation about the impact of our everyday consumer choices, and what its connection may be to our global future being shaped by girls.
