This TEDx event featuring our community's own Mitzi Sinnott will focus on the theme “Complexities of Identity”. We tend to think of identity as singular, but the more our lives become interconnected, the more we find our identities to be complex.

And we all must live within that complex reality. Tickets are still on sale!
