Tweetable Quotes:
“[TED Talks] are really meant to serve the audience so that they adopt your idea as their own, think differently, and potentially take action upon leaving the theater. - Tricia Brouk
“When you understand your powerful message and your story, and your idea worth spreading is meant to serve communities, and is meant to be heard by that one person so that you can change and even save their life, all of the fear of applying will go away. Because you're doing this out of service.” - Tricia Brouk
