It’s all in the mind. Though a simple proposition, what if this was true? What if the changes we desired to see in our communities, in our lives, and in our very selves began with the thoughts in our mind?
The TEDxFlatbush 2019 theme embraces that thinking through a carefully selected collection of talks designed to encourage a mindshift; a quality of mind that encourages forward thinking and creativity regardless of surrounding circumstances. This conference is our reminder that a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
