  2. Wow! It amazes me that some people can find a silver lining in their dark clouds. Survival I guess. Glad Washington found hers!

  12. I just had the chance to watch this, DK, and so glad that I did. What a beautiful spirit, and so very inspiring. I, too, live in mortal dread of public speaking, and I have no hurdle to get over other than an innate fear. If I could, I would give this young woman a big hug, but at the least I can purchase her album, as her voice is like silk. What a lovely start to my week, emotionally and audibly…. 🙂

    • You’ve captured it Lori. I rarely have the patience to sit through Ted Talks, and this one at 13 minutes shorter than the standard 17-18 minutes. I watched this 3x. Inspired each time. What an incredible young woman.

  13. It’s amazing how many singers have these same problems, and singing is not a problem at all. I think for me it would be the other way round! Thanks for this David that was really inspiring, and her singing is wonderful too! 🙂
