In this speech, Afirah delves into the nature of change and the importance of asking “why.” She explains that life moves so quickly that we often don’t realize how much we change—from cooking one moment to presenting a TED Talk the next. Afirah encourages the audience to embrace curiosity and self-reflection by asking “why.” This simple question can lead to profound insights, helping us understand our choices and confront change as an opportunity for growth, rather than something to fear. By harnessing the power of “why,” we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our world.
