Janine Shepherd: A broken body isn't a broken person


Read Post "I recently returned from the USA where I gave a TEDx talk in Kansas city. The venue at the Kaufman centre was absolutely breathtaking and the audience of 1600 people made it a night to remember.

Last week my talk was put up on the Ted.com site and featured as the talk of the day. It also appeared in the Huffington Post for the weekend feature of TED talks.

My talk is entitled, 'A broken body isn't a broken person', and I have included the link above. it has been viewed over 200 000 times in the past week. Amazing!"
