TEDx Talk: The Gift of Exile

The hardships we seek to protect our children from are often the gifts that enable them to thrive as adults. As a young girl, Niloofar Razi Howe’s stable childhood world vanished when she was driven out of her country by the Iranian Revolution. On the TEDx stage, she describes the challenges she faced as 10 year old and how those challenges inform her view that the world should be questioned, and that when risk and terror are faced head on, they can become truly empowering.
