This was the highlight of my day.
Due to a hotel room being unavailable, a mother asked the event coordinator if her children could attend the keynote.
Her children didn’t know who the speaker was, but as soon as I started sharing my story about mental health, one of her daughters put the pieces together.
The daughter, Kristina, realized I was the person that she wrote a paper on for her grade 11 English class. Apparently, they were asked to study a TEDx speaker, and she chose my TEDx talk on men and mental health.
I asked her what grade she got.
