Recap of Last Night’s TEDxSMU Auditions

|

No, I’m not going to recap it. Sarah Hodge already did right here. But I will say I had a really good time listening to all of the talks, even the ones that didn’t completely work. Narrowing it down to one winner would have been impossible, so fortunately they opened it up to three: Jasmin Brand, Belinda Baldwin, and Will Clarke. As always, Sharon Lyle and the TEDxSMU team put on a great event, and the Kessler Theater was a good host.

Side note: Like Liz mentioned before, I was a judge. There were two others. Grace Gilker, a sophomore at Hockaday who has already done a TEDxKids talk, and Omar Jahwar, who spoke at TEDxSMU last year, and negotiated a truce between the Bloods and Crips, no big deal. And then me. Shaky choice.
