11-year-old Aasya Daggubati uses the metaphor of aggravating garlic skin to explore the complex layers of human personality. Sharing her personal experiences with bullying and "fake friends," she reveals that kindness often means setting boundaries and being kind to oneself. Discover the power of self-belief and quality in navigating relationships. Hello! My name is Aasya Daggubati and I am a 6th grader at Carnage Magnet Middle School (CMMS). I am a speaker who loves to dance, sing, play table tennis, play chess, and of course, speak! I have been in the speaking business since I was about 7. Not continuously anyway, but more like doing speeches and making up fun stories to present each year at the WE STRIVE public speaking. I know, I know, but everyone has to start somewhere- right? As I grew up a bit, I started to embrace the fact that I LOVED making speeches. Then I became part of my schools TEDx club! I got chosen as one of the speakers after I made my first real official speech- the layers of kindness. And so far, it's great! I met many new people who helped me get to the place I am now! 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
