So i did this #TedX talk in October in Tralee -a different way of communicating for me- it was a nerve-wracking but fascinating experience, & met some wonderfully diverse speakers on the day. Hope it gets more notice for the Irish 🇮🇪 revolutionary women #tedxtralee #speirgorm youtu.be/FLRIKMiJ5Qc?...
