- 12:35Why Gen Z See No Limits When Others See Barriers | Musonda Veronica Malama | TEDxMilton Keynes YouthIn this compelling TEDx talk, digital transformation strategist and career coach Musonda challenges everything we think we know about generational differences and the nature of "impossible."Born to a single immigrant mother from Zambia, Musonda shares their unconventional journey from questioning high school biology classes to landing six-figure jobs without experience – all while being labeled "entitled" and "delusional" for thinking like Gen Z. Through the powerful lens of Roger Bannister's historic four-minute mile breakthrough, Musonda reveals how psychological barriers often masquerade as physical impossibilities, and why the same boundary-breaking mindset that gets Millennials criticized gets Gen Z celebrated as entrepreneurial visionaries. Musonda's journey embodies extraordinary potential when embracing uncertainty as opportunity. Born to a single mother who migrated from Zambia to the UK, Musonda transformed from law graduate to internationally recognised digital transformation strategist - proof of choosing growth over comfort.This trajectory illustrates a truth: our greatest limitations exist not in circumstances, but in our willingness to challenge perceived boundaries. Through deliberate action, Musonda discovered that society's perceived disadvantages—single-parent upbringing, immigrant life - become foundations of resilience and innovation.As programme management consultant, career coach and keynote speaker, Musonda dismantles barriers for underrepresented tech professionals. Having guided numerous individuals from marginalised backgrounds to breakthrough success, Musonda champions that single-parent households and immigrant heritage aren't limitations but unique perspectives driving achievement This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
