In this talk, Busayo Twins challenges the quiet inaction that often hides behind hope.Drawing from her experiences in activism, political education and her own journey with faith, she asks what it really means to have a positive impact in the world. What does it take to see change where it truly matters, rather than where it is most comfortable or expected?This is a talk about moving beyond good intentions. About questioning the stories we tell ourselves when we say we care. And about finding new ways of thinking and working that allow us to act with clarity, depth and purpose.Busayo invites us to let go of passive optimism and instead take responsibility for the change we want to see.
