The Power of Writing: Rebecca Wallace-Segall at TEDxDESA

Rebecca Wallace-Segall is the founder and Executive Director of Writopia Lab and teaches writing workshops in NYC. She lectures at schools, events, and parents' organizations on How to Inspire the Writer Within Your Child. She has been awarded recognition from The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards as an "outstanding educator" and has contributed op-eds about education and writing to The Atlantic Monthly and The Wall Street Journal.

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, TEDTalks 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)

Really inspiring talk. Very moved by Rebecca's commitment to create spaces where all young people can tell and share their stories.
