In her talk, Trisha Sayani reflects on how mirrors and self-image distort our sense of beauty and worth. Through a personal story filled with humor and honesty, she explores how growing up changes how we see ourselves, from carefree confidence to self-doubt shaped by reflection and comparison. She challenges the idea of beauty as something fixed, showing that true beauty lives in how we feel, not what we see. It’s a call to stop letting mirrors define us and start seeing ourselves with kinder eyes. Trisha is a passionate public speaker who found her home on stage early in life. A Toastmasters graduate and MUN veteran with 20+ conferences, she blends eloquence with purpose. Beyond speaking, she’s an environmentalist, innovator, and school chess player. In her TEDx talk, she reimagines Snow White to explore how mirrors shape our self-image and invites us to see beauty as a liberating, unbound force beyond perception. 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
