Honored to support our friend and colleague, Stacey Hanke as moderator for the TedX at the University of Chicago this weekend. She was wonderful (no surprise) and the speakers were each terribly engaging and compelling. Here’s a quick recap:

Making the maker movement accessible to ALL of our children. Powerful, meaningful work by Rabiah Mayas
What a voice! Rich and resonating slam poetry performance by Natalie Richardson
I loved this talk. Revolutionary look at addressing treatment and diagnosis of mental illness as it pertains the patients’ needs and our definition of “normal.” Thank you, Megan Koehnen.
Marina Elliott ‘s fascinating discovery of new hominin remains in Africa. Spectacular.
A local celebrity, Paul Durica brings history alive with his experiential, historical re-enactments and encouraged all of us to partake.
Life after the NFL. Beautiful journey on following your passion and creating a business you believe in by Will Witherspoon.
