Great! So happy to hear that you're interested! We will be sending you an
official invitation to speak as the event approaches (the tentative date is
April 18).
In the meantime, here's some info about the program and its speakers:

About TEDx, what is a TEDx event: https://www.ted.com/about/our-organization
,

Speaking at a TEDx event:

The second link outlines some of the rules surrounding speakers and topics.
We would love to hear about hunger and food security. In fact, Trinity
partners closely with the Backpack program, which gives local school kids
backpacks to take full of food to help feed them over the weekend. That
would be a fantastic angle.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I am also going to give you
Bhumika Choudhary's email. She is the main organizer of the event, and will
be sending you the formal invitation to speak.

email: [email-masked]

Again, please email me or Bhumika (or both) if you have any questions, and
we look forward to your participation in the event!

Thank you!
Ellie
