TEDxSFU Quyn Le

Blinded at the age of two, Quyn and her family were among thousands of Vietnamese boat people to embark on a very dangerous journey on the sea to seek refuge and freedom in a foreign land. After four years of living in destitution and despair of a refugee camp, Quyn arrived in Canada at the age of fourteen with no education and a few English words. Quyn has since overcome many physical, cultural, social and emotional barriers to earn a Masters degree in counselling psychology. Her life-long dream is to help people overcome emotional struggles and make transformational changes in their lives.

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.)
