The speakers were all selected through TedTalk. None dwells on their experiences and challenges. However, they are mentioned or referenced for context in why and how the speakers have built resilience. Speakers faced severe medical illnesses, accidents, death, family members’ illegal activities, bullying, and incarceration. Some discuss feelings of helplessness or worthlessness. Yet, all of the speakers over overcame these challenges.
