Why Blend-in When You can Stand-out! | Deepti Agrawal | TEDxPine Lake Youth

Join Deepti on a heartfelt journey of self-discovery as she navigates the pressures of fitting in with the "popular gang" since childhood. In her engaging talk, Deepti shares how the quest for likability led her to gradually lose sight of her authenticity, becoming invisible to herself and others. Drawing from her personal experiences, Deepti reveals how reconnecting with her heritage became a powerful catalyst for self-discovery. She unveils the transformative journey that ultimately led her to reclaim her true self and redefine what it means to be popular. Don't miss this inspiring exploration of identity and belonging! A WA state Governor's Art and Heritage Award winner in 2022, Deepti is a world-renowned expert in Madhubani Painting and possibly the only notable practitioner who is a successful art-entrepreneur, a passionate educator, an impactful orator and an altruistic philanthropist. She is a Board member at Humanities WA, guest lecturer at Seattle University, guest artist at Seattle Art Museum, King County Library System, Kirkland Art Center among many other public and private organizations of national and international repute.
Deepti has a vision to awaken the community around to the Indian traditional visual arts and to shape creatively dynamic, culturally rooted and socially sensitive artists. Her work evokes conversations around the lesser known and forgotten stories which are documented in ancient scriptures. These narratives have deep cultural and spiritual significance and generate curiosity in the onlooker to unravel more. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
