Rachel H. Graham of Evolve and Transform Announces the Release of her TEDxTaraBlvd Talk

 ALLEN, TX, March 04, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ — Rachel H. Graham recently spoke at the TEDxTaraBlvd, event in Jonesboro, GA, held on February 22, 2021. The TEDx Talk, Secrets: Unpacking Your Lock Box to Live A More Joyful Life has recently been released for the public to enjoy.

“I am excited to share my second official TEDx talk with TEDxTaraBlvd. This incredible opportunity has given me the ability to use my voice to empower and create meaning and purpose in so many lives,” said Rachel H. Graham, CEO and Founder of Evolve and Transform, and CEO and Co-founder of Healing Springs Ranch.

Graham’s talk focuses on the half-truths we tell others and ourselves; the secrets we keep hidden in our “lockbox” and the power that comes from unpacking what’s inside. This TEDx talk was filmed in Beavers Bend State Park by the incredibly talented Jason Ward Photography.

“When I heard Rachel’s idea, I knew her perspective of the new essential was highly relatable and transformational. What she and her team did to add context and layering of the idea through filming was sheer genius and an unforgettable delight,” said Dena Wiggins, curator, and organizer of TEDxTaraBlvd.

The independently organized event, licensed by TED, featured local voices and TED Talks videos under the theme: The New Essential from Multiple Perspectives.

Like many communities, the TEDxTaraBlvd community experienced unprecedented change, ambiguity, and uncertainty individually, in community, and as a part of our evolving humanity. Small communities made and continue to make pivots from the point of the new essential. Humanity witnessed overnight shifts about what is essential in the light of now. What is the new essential– the lasting big ideas that we take with us as we rebuild? The Tara Blvd community is no stranger to change, rebuilding, reinvention, and rebirth.

Rachel Graham of Evolve and Transform Announces the Release of her TEDxAndrews Talk

MCKINNEY, Texas, May 5, 2020,/PRNewswire/ — Rachel Graham of Evolve and Transform Inc. recently spoke at the TEDxAndrews event held on January 25, 2020. The TEDx Talk has recently been released for the public to view: Why Addiction is Everyone’s Disease.

“I am so thrilled to finally get the chance to share my TEDx Talk with everyone.  My personal mission is to educate people, business leaders, students, and professionals to remove the stigma around addiction and compulsive behaviors (of which we all have) while encouraging the audience to find their own purpose through their skills and individual experiences,” said Rachel Graham, President, of Evolve and Transform and President and Co-founder of Healing Springs Ranch.

Launched in 2009, TEDx is a program of locally organized events that bring the community together to share a TED-like experience. Some of the best talks from TEDx events have gone on to be featured on TED.com and garnered millions of views from audiences across the globe.

This is the inaugural TEDxAndrews event in the Waccamaw region in South Carolina. It is important to this community because, too often, small, rural communities are not included in global conversations. However, the Town of Andrews has set out to prove that, not only do small towns deserve to be included in global conversations, but we have beautiful, complex, innovative, exciting, and vital stories to share.

“In recognition of ‘the changes-makers’ and the impact they are having in Andrews and small, rural communities like it all around the world, the theme for the very first TEDxAndrews event is ‘Manifest Destiny.'”
