Dr. Nina Apra delivers a poetic and soul-searching TEDx talk that challenges the way we perceive ourselves. She explores the idea that the mirror often lies-reflecting not who we truly are, but what our insecurities want us to see.
With grace and conviction, Nina urges us to rewrite the stories we tell ourselves, let go of self-judgment, and embrace our authenticity. Her message is a powerful reminder that our worth is not defined by appearances, but by the truth we carry within.
