Finding strength in silence, dignity and unseen courage | Amy Cardoso | TEDxLOTS Youth

A powerful reminder that perseverance isn’t measured by recognition, but by the steady faith to keep going when no one is watching. Amy Cardoso is the Head Teacher of Martin House College in Zambia, where she has led the growth of a vibrant academic and cultural community since its founding. Passionate about education, leadership, and values-driven growth, she has guided hundreds of young people through pivotal moments in their lives. Drawing on her own personal journey of challenges and triumphs, Amy speaks with honesty and conviction about resilience, faith, and the lessons that shape us. She believes in the transformative power of perseverance — not as a public performance, but as the quiet strength that carries us forward when no one is watching. Outside of education, Amy is a devoted mother who loves the outdoors, travel, and finding joy in life’s everyday adventures. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
