The power of authenticity | Devin Mallory | TEDxUCLA

Passion. Dance. Growth. Navigating passion through dance amidst the positive, the negative, and the introspective
My name is Devin Mallory, I am 20 years old, and I am a third year Dance major, with a minor in Food Studies and Nutrition. I come from a biracial upbringing through African American and Filipino culture, which has posed many conflicts in finding my identity growing up. Facing adversity at a young age, as well, my upbringing served as a time in maturing quickly. I was led down a path of depression and anxiety through struggles with my schooling, family, and my self-identity. At the age of 10, I found a love and passion for dance. Dance became an outlet for expression that I was not initially exposed to during such negatives times in my childhood. 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
