Can we talk slow with rich native words? | Viktoria Beshliiska | TEDxVitosha

We know it if we can name it in our own language. In the age of AI, the richness of native words best describes our inner selves, shapes our human potential and makes us memorable. Viktoria Beshliiska is an “admirer of words” - a limitless talent who brightly and suddenly appeared on the sky of Bulgarian literature. She charmed thousands of readers with her debut book "Clay" and soon after she wrote another historic best-seller, “Heart”. Viktoria used to have a “normal” corporate career - for 8 years she worked on marketing campaigns as a copywriter and a project manager. The pivot occurred when visiting the modest pottery museum in the village of Busintsi, in Bulgaria. A local legend reawakened her writing talent. Then, a meeting with the famous Armenian writer Narine Abgaryan inspired Victoria to say to herself: It's possible. I'm 37 now and I can still 'become a writer'.
Her passion is the blog "On the tracks of words", where she collects ancient words and the stories around them. Victoria was declared the most-read contemporary Bulgarian author and won the Bookseller's Choice, the European Debut Award - Eurocon 2022, and the Stoyan Mihailovski badge. 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
