MCKINNEY, Texas, Jan. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Rachel Graham of Healing Springs Ranch will speak at an upcoming TEDxAndrews event. TEDxAndrews will take place on January 25, 2020, at The Andrews Dream Center from 4:30 pm-8 pm. The independently organized event, licensed by TED, will feature local voices and TED Talks videos under the theme of Manifest Destiny.
“I am honored and thrilled to be invited to the TEDxAndrews stage,” 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. And 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.'”
– Danisha L. McClary, Organizer
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
