This TED Talk is all about speaking up and being what the speaker, Ajayi, calls “the domino.” She says that for dominos to fall, one of them must be willing to tip over and start the momentum. So what is stopping us from being a domino? A lot of times it is fear. Fear holds us back in so many areas of our lives and this message is an inspiring way to break through the barriers we create for ourselves.

You matter – this video will remind you of that.
