Buttered Toast with Maple Syrup | Kyla Corelli | TEDxAtlanta Intl School Youth
What if the smallest, most frustrating moments of your morning could alter your destiny? For Kyla, a series of seemingly unimportant events on an ordinary school day culminated in a life-changing moment. In this gripping, personal story, she explores how a single event can change our trajectory forever, leaving us to question the invisible forces and split-second chances that shape our lives. Kyla Corelli teaches middle school science at Atlanta International School, balancing lesson plans, chaos, and cat hair with heart. On weekends, she scuba dives or plays soccer—rarely simultaneously. Weeknights find her building miniatures or rebelliously coloring outside the lines. She travels the world with her husband, collecting memories (and questionable souvenirs), but home is where her four cats reign. Special shoutout to Clover, the chicken-loving guilt machine. Kyla’s life? Equal parts adventure, creativity, and feline-approved fabulousness. Iconic in every way.

Photodocumentarian Tony Menias reveals how slowing down transforms the way we see ourselves and each other.

Through stunning imagery and raw reflection, Tony shows how everyday moments become visual poetry when we pause to truly notice. This talk invites you to witness the divine connections that surround us daily—teaching that when we see with our hearts, not just our eyes, strangers become family and chaos becomes peace. Driven by curiosity & fascination with the world, Tony's love of capturing life began when his father handed him his first camera at age seven. From medical school to global missions serving the impoverished, photography was his guiding light in finding beauty in the simplest things. Witnessing the resiliency of souls he treated inspired a life change. Tony left medicine to pursue his craft. Within his first year as a photographer, he was recognized by National Geographic, held multiple exhibitions, & won an Award for Excellence. Photography was no longer a hobby, but calling.
