At the age of 9, Megan exploded onto the stage and became the UK's youngest professional speaker. Sharing her story of overcoming bullying at such a young age, she has inspired thousands. Since going to high school her life has totally changed direction as she realised the only way to prevent bullying was to dig deeper and discover your inner strength. Starting her journey as a teenager has had its ups and downs particularly while she has searched for her place in the world. 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)
