Born and raised in Baltimore City, Miles has interned at Teach For America, Harbor Bank of Maryland, and Euler Hermes. He plans to dedicate his life to making true and lasting change in the city he grew up in. He has always been vocal about urban youth in poverty and the action communities need to take to foster change. He is an 18-year-old student at Morgan State University.

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)
