The lies we tell ourselves | Tlangelani Khosa | TEDxUniversityofPretoria
Who are you — really?In this deeply introspective TEDx talk, Tlangelani Khosa explores the complexity of identity, the stories we tell ourselves, and the quiet courage it takes to live beyond the labels society gives us. Through personal reflection and raw honesty, he challenges us to question the boxes we’ve built around our lives — the ones we think define us but often only keep us safe.This talk is a reminder that we are not tied to our labels. That we have the choice to show up anyway. And that we are allowed to not be perfect.With vulnerability and truth, Tlangelani invites us to see that self-discovery doesn’t begin when we have it all figured out — it begins when we realise we were never truly lost in the first place.#TEDxUniversityofPretoria #SelfDiscovery #Identity #PersonalGrowth #Kaleidoscopic #Authenticity Tlangelani Khosa (TK) is a purpose-driven digital creative and a dynamic storyteller whose journey is a testament to the power of faith and resilience.
