Reclaiming Our Voice in the Digital Age | Nicole Fu | TEDxZhengzhou No.7 HS
This talk explores how young women can reclaim their voice and agency in the digital age by breaking silence, dismantling shame, and using online tools for empowerment. It draws from personal stories, global injustices, and public action to challenge harmful labels and normalize sex education. Hello everyone, my name is Nicole Fu, and I’m a student from ASAA, an American high school with a global vision. I’m passionate about gender equality, youth empowerment, and digital literacy. Over the past few years, I’ve actively participated in both school and community events, using public speaking as a way to challenge stereotypes and amplify marginalized voices.I previously delivered a talk on “The Power of Curiosity in Learning” at our school’s Youth Innovation Forum, and participated in a community-led panel titled “Voices Unheard: Gender and Generation”, where I spoke about the challenges of growing up in a culturally conservative environment. These experiences have deepened my commitment to using storytelling as a tool for change.Today, I’m honored to share my TED-style talk, “Reclaiming Our Voice in the Digital Age,” a reflection on sex education, social labels, and what it means to speak up as a young woman in a hyperconnected world. 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

- 16:24Sistemele fragile cad. Rețelele invizibile rezistă | Cristina Chiriac | TEDxTârguMureșYou can easily recognize a fragile system: it has rigid rules, reacts slowly, and collapses noisily. But the strongest structures are invisible. They are made of people who connect, not rules that are imposed. From conversations, not commands. From courage, not status. That is where lasting change is born. Cristina Chiriac is a leading voice in Romanian female entrepreneurship, blending strategic vision with authentic leadership. Founder of Flori de IE, she transforms traditional Romanian craftsmanship into a symbol of cultural diplomacy and sustainability. As president of CONAF, she drives initiatives that empower women entrepreneurs and refugees, while also contributing as a European VET Ambassador and author of influential business books.
