You and Yourself | Holly Gabrielle | TEDxCambridgeUniversity

Holly shares her struggles growing up with perfectionism, body image and eating disorders, encouraging the audience to be intentional in the journey of accepting and looking after themselves. Holly is 24 years old and she goes by Holly Gabrielle online. In 2019, she graduated from the University of Cambridge, having studied Biological Natural Sciences for three years, and her time as an undergraduate student also saw her grow her KZbin channel and brand on social media. Her KZbin videos capture everything from veganism and fitness to solo travelling and her personal struggles with mental health, and her goal is to simply put a smile on the face of those watching behind the screen. She most recently shared her journey training for the London Marathon in 2021, as well as her year as a master’s student of the Cancer MSc programme at UCL (University College London). 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

A million times ‘thank you’ Holly for having the incredible courage to share your story!! As a recovering anorexic (and recovering perfectionist!!) I found it so uplifting and inspiring ❤️✨

[@PuneetSamadhar]

Yes..

"One day I was too short, another day too tall because wow, Holly you can't just be five foot four; I mean, who's just average?" I strongly resonate with you, Holly, and witnessing you overcome the darkness that loomed over your adolescence encourages and dares me to hope that I, too, can be as courageous, compassionate, strong-willed, and accepting of myself as you are as long as I don't stop persevering and rediscovering my identity. Thank you so much, Holly and if you're reading this, welcome back from Thailand. I wish you and the whole White household all the best! 🤍
