You. Are. Enough. | Shantae Edwards | TEDxHerndon

“I am enough”. This affirmation creates a feeling of pride, a feeling of hope, a feeling that releases imperfections. This is a shift in the conversation of standing in your truth, and owning that regardless of the odds against you, your past or your failures, you matter, you are enough and the world needs you, because the fact will always remain that no one can do or be you.
