Never give up and other complete rubbish | Jillian Haslam | TEDxStormont

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Never give up and other complete rubbish Born in the city of Calcutta to British parents, Jillian Haslam faced a bruising childhood of extreme poverty, malnutrition & disease. She lived through the deaths of four siblings from starvation and found success against impossible odds. Her story is in the process of being turned into a Hollywood film. @JillianHaslam About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
