This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. In this "Touch of Tottenham" talk, local "impact" entrepreneur Yasmin Greenaway urges us to prioritise an investment in our future!

Born in the vibrant Hackney, East London, Yasmin made the decision at a young age not to merely become a product of her environment.
Fresh out of university, Yasmin moved to North London and started working as a Finance Assistant for a start-up Community Interest Company working with local NEETs.
As of now Yasmin is working on an art exhibition series, facilitated by young artists and entrepreneurs from her local community.


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)
