Why quitting is a form of empowerment | Shiori Muto | TEDxAwaji
In her talk, Shiori shares her own personal experiences of social withdrawal, she explores how shifting an environment can redefine what is "normal" and the courage it takes to step away from environments that don’t allow us to be ourselves. After living in Canada from 2008 to 2016, Shiori returned to Fukuoka to work as a freelance interpreter, translator, and designer. Her experience with social withdrawal drives her mission to help others find positive paths and self-expression.
2008年から2016年までカナダで生活し、帰国後は福岡市で通訳、翻訳者、デザイナーとして活動。不登校の経験から、前向きな選択肢と表現の場を提供することを目指している。 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
