The Bravest Step Isn’t Forward-It’s Back | Dandan Chen | TEDxWuxi DSAS Youth
Jennie Chen shares a sincere journey that belongs uniquely to her. Her story reminds us that stepping back is not a failure—it is often the way to move closer to what truly matters. There is no final “perfect version” of life; we are always allowed to update, adjust, and grow. Jennie Chen is a Chinese teacher at KCIS who values quiet reflection, reading, and travel. She constantly challenges herself to grow through new experiences. Her personal journey has taught her that true courage often means consciously stepping back—embracing our “work in progress” state, listening to our inner voice, and choosing paths that align with our deepest values. In her talk, she will share why the bravest step isn’t always forward, but sometimes back.

- 11:21Ser você é o maior ato de coragem | Márcia Dantas | TEDxCuiabáMárcia Dantas abre o coração sobre os bastidores da televisão e o peso de ser mulher diante das câmeras.

Em sua fala, Márcia expõe como a maternidade ainda é tratada como risco, como o corpo feminino é constantemente julgado e como o mercado pune mulheres por escolhas legítimas. Sua história é um chamado para repensarmos o trabalho, a equidade e, sobretudo, a liberdade das mulheres de viverem suas vidas sem medo de serem silenciadas.
