Layers of Human Identity | Aayushi Bhoi | TEDxCarnageMagnetMS

7th grader Aayushi Bhoi suggests we view ourselves less like simple profiles and more like extensive, multi-volume encyclopedias. She explores the complexity of our "public relations" outer layers versus our private "core operating systems" filled with values and beliefs. Discover how practicing empathy and looking beyond the cover can build a kinder, more connected world. Aayushi Bhoi is a 7th grader at Carnage Magnet Middle School and is a speaker this year in the TEDx Carnage Middle School Club. She has achieved long-standing STEM success, including being part of many Science Olympiad Clubs since Elementary School, a state Biotechnology Bowl win and a regional Science Bee title, and now in seventh grade, she recently made a strong FBLA debut by advancing to the state leadership conference for the event "Personal Finance." Outside of academics, Aayushi is a composed individual who expresses her creativity through vocal lessons and Odissi classical Indian dance. An highly creative person, she approaches every challenge with steady focus and is excited to spend her first year in TEDx as a speaker gaining valuable leadership and public speaking experience! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
