Doing tedx omaha was a trip.
My talk was about using stories to unpack and explore really hard topics – but not just any stories, science fiction stories. Scifi isn’t fantasy, it’s futurism. It is removed enough from our experiences and bias to let us look at challenges objectively. Truly my talk was the story of how I started using Star Trek (and all scifi) as a learning tool.
So grateful to all the people who came and sent me messages of support and love. I appreciate you! My family, who always show up for me. Molly Brummond, Tasha Everman, and Michelle Paxton waiting outside the stage door to celebrate with me. Kat Ousey and Gene staying for the day. Alica Simon and Lindsay Rawlings driving up. My forever bestie, Frances Hayes. Texts and messages from Aakriti, Richard McDermott, Tyler, and Bonita. My coworkers who helped on practice runs. And all the others I missed: thanks for being my community.
Live long and prosper 🖖🏼
