2012 Spring Commencement: Keynote Address by Dessa

[@ericanderson4420]

I adore Dessa, and I've followed probably all of her interviews. She is so confident in her speaches, so articulate, so profound, this is a rare one that she actually seems nervous. Dessa to me is like an angel. I've seen her at least once in all of her tours. From Doomtree shows to her solo performances here in the Twin Cities. I even tried enrolling to McNally Smith until I realized that I had zero business there..... Seeing this commencement speech helped my understand this AMAZING WOMAN.

This is a speech i find myself coming back to at least once a year. Extremely impactful.

I've watched this 20+ times and it is and continues to be a constant source of inspiration.

Eloquent and inspiring. Quite an incredible speech by a far more amazing women. "Knowledge is clay for the imagination...and a drawbridge through which to grant access to your life to others, and even to glimpse theirs"
