This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. In this short performance, Bri Bruce shares her inspiration and performs a personal and stirring spoken word poem.  “Sometimes I’m so mad – that life is sad – and hard – and messy.”  

Bri Bruce is a writer, artist, singer, and poet.  

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
