The spark of Hawy | Yassin Mohammed, Abdullah Oweis & Alex Avakian | TEDxYouth@BedayiaSchool
This talk tells the inspiring story of three young friends—Abdallah, Yassin, and Alex—who turned a spontaneous idea into a successful local fashion brand. It highlights their journey from casual conversations to appearing on Shark Tank, emphasizing teamwork, individual strengths, and learning through real-world experience. The message encourages young people to take initiative, trust their team, and start small, proving that with collaboration and persistence, big dreams can become reality. We are just three kids who had a dream and chased it. Each one of us is good at a thing or two, but never good enough to start a brand like Hawy by himself. That's what pushed us to rely on each other, and work as a team to be able to achieve our dream. And as they say, "teamwork makes the dream work.”We are just three kids who had a dream and chased it.
