Behind the Red Dot: A Roundtable with TEDxThirdWard Speakers

This episode brings the TEDxThirdWard family together for a candid, wisdom-filled group conversation. Hosted by Durrel Douglas, the roundtable features:

Emem Washington – Speaker Coach

Together, we dig into what it really takes to step onto the TEDx stage:

The highs and lows of the preparation process
Why a TEDx talk is its own art form (not a sermon or speech)

How this journey became both a challenge and a reunion
