Võ Bảo Trân, or Lily, has always valued introspection and the beauty of quiet moments. Today, she will take us on a sincere journey of rediscovery — learning to listen to herself and embrace solitude in ways that reveal unexpected beauty. My name is Võ Bảo Trân, but you can call me Lily.This is my first time officially holding the title of Speaker, and I’m beyond honored to share glimpses of my life with you, hoping to shift your perspectives just a little. No grand promises here! However, I can promise transparency as I invite you on a journey of rediscovery—finding beauty in the quiet moments of solitude. It’s a story about learning to listen to myself, and maybe it’ll inspire you to do the same.
