  • When you are brave it changes everything. There is power in being brave. Step into your bravery by facing your fears, overcoming challenges and inspiring others and this will lead to the most exciting life. Sofia Sanchez, a Ukrainian-American sensation, soared into fame with her viral video "Down Syndrome Is Not Scary," launching her into acting and advocacy. From "Switched at Birth" to films like "For Paloma," she's made her mark. Sofia's inspiring adoption tale led to Scholastic picture books and ad campaigns for brands like Old Navy. Beyond acting, she champions love and empowerment, collaborating with organizations like Best Buddies. Notably, her appearance at the "Barbie" movie premiere, dressed as the first Barbie with Down Syndrome, gained global acclaim. Sofia's journey continues with engagements like a TED TALK and ongoing work in entertainment and advocacy, inspiring millions worldwide. 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

    Wow! There is nothing Sofia can’t do once she puts her mind to it. Hector, Jennifer and the boys (Diego, Mateo & Joachin) have created the perfect environment for Sofia to blossom into the very best version of herself. Look at all she has achieved at just 15 years old! I don’t have any children or grandchildren of my own, but I celebrate each and every one of Sofia’s milestones with the enthusiasm and excitement of a proud grandparent. A TED Talk though! Wow! Talk about brave! ❤️

    Sofia, you’re so inspiring. I’m so happy I got to meet you at TEDxReno this year. The power of bravery has so many important messages. Bravery can inspire others indeed and you do every single day with what you choose to fill your life with.
    I love your second point that we should approach challenges and barriers as opportunities and not give up on the goal, and most of all, not give up on ourselves.
    Thank you for your wisdom beyond your years, and being brave and setting a beautiful example for all of us.
