MORE THAN A NAME | Jasmita Yasothamani Rukmoni | TEDxChinmaya Vidyalaya Attukal Youth

Про це відео

A name may seem like a simple label, but it can carry history, meaning, expectations and a deeply personal story. Drawing from her own experiences, Jasmita Yasothamani Rukmoni explores how names influence identity, confidence and the way we understand ourselves. She invites us to look beyond the letters and sounds of a name and discover the stories, values and sense of belonging it can represent. This talk encourages us to embrace the uniqueness of our names and recognise that understanding where we come from can help shape who we choose to become. Jasmita is a curious learner with a passion for science, music, and uncovering the extraordinary in everyday life. She is fascinated by the power of words and believes that even something as simple as a name can shape identity, confidence, and purpose. Drawing from her own journey, Jasmita takes the TEDx stage to explore how names are more than labels—they carry stories, meaning, and the potential to influence who we become. Through her talk, she invites the audience to reflect on the significance of identity and embrace the unique story behind their own name. 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
