About this talk

Letting go of past friendships is not a failure but an act of honoring what they gave us, making space for growth, new connections, and fresh beginnings. Ayane Chiang is a sophomore at Valley Christian High School this year with a passion for advocacy. She was born in Taiwan but raised in California, and grew her love for public speaking through her school’s speech team where she uses her voice to empower change. Some of her hobbies include playing the clarinet, reading, and watching political debates. She loves volunteering and being involved within her community to help spark innovation and hopes to inspire others to do the same. 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
