The beauty in spending time with yourself | Bảo Trân Võ | TEDxYouth PTNK
Võ Bảo Trân, or Lily, has always valued introspection and the beauty of quiet moments. Today, she will take us on a sincere journey of rediscovery — learning to listen to herself and embrace solitude in ways that reveal unexpected beauty. My name is Võ Bảo Trân, but you can call me Lily.This is my first time officially holding the title of Speaker, and I’m beyond honored to share glimpses of my life with you, hoping to shift your perspectives just a little. No grand promises here! However, I can promise transparency as I invite you on a journey of rediscovery—finding beauty in the quiet moments of solitude. It’s a story about learning to listen to myself, and maybe it’ll inspire you to do the same.

- 7:47Women In Sports | Flower Ssewakiryanga | TEDxAga Khan HS Kampala YouthThis inspiring and eye-opening speech confronts the deep-rooted inequalities between men’s and women’s sports. With wit and conviction, she challenges her audience to question why male athletes dominate the headlines while equally talented women remain overlooked. Tracing the journey from women’s exclusion in the early Olympics to modern-day trailblazers like Serena Williams, Simone Biles, and Uganda’s own Flavia Oketcho and Dorcus Inzikuru, she celebrates the strength, resilience, and brilliance of female athletes who defy stereotypes.

- 9:11Gaining Aura By Looking at it | Philippe Okwe | TEDxAga Khan HS Kampala YouthThis witty and insightful talk turns the idea of “aura” the sense of confidence and coolness we project completely on its head. Through humor, storytelling, and a hilariously awkward cafeteria moment, the speaker reveals that constantly “losing aura” might actually be the key to finding true self-assurance. Drawing from psychology, personal reflection, and everyday experiences, Gaining Aura by Losing It challenges the belief that confidence comes from perfection or popularity. Instead, it celebrates authenticity, vulnerability, and the freedom that comes from not caring how others perceive you. A refreshing reminder that real confidence begins the moment you stop trying to look confident.
