Yasmeen El-Shawy was diagnosed at the age of one with Spinal Muscular Atrophy which severely limited her movement and she is using a wheelchair as a result.

In this deeply inspirational talk, Yasmeen describes the difficulties she faced, explaining how she wouldn't allow her illness to stop her from searching for the purpose of her being. Yasmeen is currently a freelance graphic designer, who feels free and unrestricted through her art.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
