After losing her father at a young age, Abby learned how to cope with the different stages of grief. At the age of 10, she decided to turn her sadness into something positive. Abby teaches us that our life experiences can help others.

Abby gave her talk during our TEDxKids@ElCajon virtual event. Her talk was pre-recorded in an empty theater and broadcasted live on Zoom and Facebook. Abby Obonyo is a 4th grader from Naranca Elementary. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
