A budding child artist, by age three, Sova was obsessively drawing women's faces in sketch-books faster than her mother could buy them. Sova is an artist-activist who creates unique portraits of women that aim to create public discussion around social justice based feminist themes. Her topic will be "The Missing Women Project".

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)
