The Unconventional Wisdom Of Ovarcoming | Runsi Sen | TEDxHoustonWomen

Taking chances, making mistakes, throwing your dreams into space like a kite and being curious and open to what it brings back ... Runsi Sen talks about nourishing despair with courage and how believing in Ovarcoming can give us the power to begin the world. Again. Runsi Sen, Founder of Ovarcome, a global ovarian cancer foundation, serves as the President and CEO of the organization. Runsi lost her mother to ovarian cancer in 2009, and in her memory and with her inspiration founded Ovarcome. Under Runsi’s leadership, Ovarcome has experienced significant growth both nationally and internationally. An MBA and Business Executive, Runsi decided to leave her corporate career to dedicate herself to the pursuit of ovarian cancer awareness and patient support, after having gone through the transformative journey with her Mom. Regarded as a pioneer thinker and a voice for the caregivers and survivors in the cancer community, Runsi wishes to give the gift of Ovarcoming to all. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Thank you so much Buck! My "idea" worth sharing stemmed from my heart and required me to allow myself to be truly seen, to embrace the true spirit of overcoming - as we call it, OVARCOMING!
