Dear friends:
Several other TEDxReno talks dropped this past week, and they’re awesome! Check out the talks of some of my “class of 2024” TEDxReno colleagues below.
You Don’t Deserve a Drink | Hirie Patricia Jetton | TEDxReno
Description: This piece is a reflection on the speaker's journey through addiction and recovery. It highlights their experiences as a touring musician, mother, and spouse, as well as their struggles with mental health issues and alcoholism. The speaker emphasizes the realization that alcohol was used to cope with discomfort and the subsequent transformation towards self-improvement and sobriety. They challenge the notion that anyone deserves a drink, advocating instead for inner peace, self-love, and questioning societal norms. Hirie–the frontwoman of the exhilarating reggae band HIRIE–grew up a global citizen. Her father worked for the United Nations and she was born in the Philippines, spent years in Italy, before her family settled in Hawaii, which became her spiritual home. San Diego’s seven-piece band HIRIE is here to offer a global spiritual uplift. Melding the balmy island touches of its singer’s beloved home—as symbolized by its moniker’s first letter, an “H” for “Hawaii,” with that feeling of irie, the award-winning group offers a soundtrack of hope.
The Power of Bravery | Sofia Sanchez | TEDxReno
Description: When you are brave it changes everything. There is power in being brave.

From "Switched at Birth" to films like "For Paloma," she's made her mark. Sofia's inspiring adoption tale led to Scholastic picture books and ad campaigns for brands like Old Navy. Beyond acting, she champions love and empowerment, collaborating with organizations like Best Buddies. Notably, her appearance at the "Barbie" movie premiere, dressed as the first Barbie with Down Syndrome, gained global acclaim. Sofia's journey continues with engagements like a TED TALK and ongoing work in entertainment and advocacy, inspiring millions worldwide.
