TEDxDeMontfortUWomen
• December 2019
In a world of technology, games and social media, it's easy to consider ourselves 'connected'. But if we really are more connected than ever, why do so many of us feel lonely? In this powerful story of the effects of living in your bubble, Alina Burney teaches us why a network is key to breaking down our walls, lifting our confidence and feeling real self-love. Empowering us with tips on building a network, she invites us to embrace the lessons of the past, as she asks: what would 9-year old me think of me now?
