Finding Calm in a Chaotic Connected World | Sudwit Tagore | TEDxGEMSInternationalSchool
In a world bombarded by endless notifications and constant digital chatter, Sudwit Tagore’s insightful talk, The Power of Silence: Finding Calm in a Chaotic Connected World, invites us to pause and reflect on the true meaning of silence. Through personal anecdotes and sharp observations, Sudwit reveals how silence—often misunderstood or overlooked—communicates volumes in both our online and offline lives. From the anxiety of lost messages to the unspoken lessons in a mother’s quiet displeasure, Sudwit explores how silence carries emotions, commands attention, and shapes human connection in ways words sometimes cannot. Challenging our addiction to digital noise, he calls on us to embrace moments of stillness and to recognize that sometimes, the loudest voice is the one that says nothing at all. This talk is a compelling reminder that silence is not empty—it is powerful, meaningful, and essential for true understanding. an avid reader of books, I enjoy talking to my friends and making new ones. I also love to write stories of my own, of lengths short and long, all while listening to classical music or soundtracks from whatever movie or game I am obsessed with. Being someone who loves all sorts of different fields of science as well as expressing myself in the deepest of ways, public speaking is often the natural outcome.

- 11:13The crisis facing American mothers and what we can do about it | Kayla Elderkin | TEDxPacific AvenueNewborns need their mothers — but in America, most women are forced back to work just weeks after giving birth. With no federally mandated paid leave, rising childcare costs, and mounting mental health crises, the system is failing moms and children alike. Kayla Elderkin delivers a raw, personal account of how she escaped the impossible trap so many mothers face — and challenges us to question the cultural norms that call this "normal." Kayla Elderkin is a single mother who refused to choose between raising her children and providing for them. While on maternity leave, she started building a business from scratch—determined to create a life that allowed her to be both present and financially secure. Today, she’s grown a community of over 600,000 across her platforms and is on a mission to help other women do the same: stay home with their babies and still provide boldly.
