Impact of TEDx attendees on inside team
Here is a collection of comments the Donovan men made last Tuesday about the impact YOU - outside attendees - had on them during Sunday’s TEDxDonovanCorrectional:
- The gravity of the situation hasn’t set in yet
- I imagined us as one big family, living in a mansion together and coming down for breakfast
- I’ve been exposed to so much love, compassion, and understanding that I’m transformed
- [The day] was good -- I don’t have any fancy words -- it was good (from a man who speaks poetry)
- [Outside attendees] brought light to my life
- What I got out of [the day] was love
- Seeing [everyone] being vulnerable and coming out of their cocoon. There is an essence of unity. I’m still stuck on that
- We are part of a legacy. I’m just so happy to be part of it
- I sat with two ladies in TEDxpression. They had me laughing. There was so much laughter, bubbliness. This was a whole new experience that just blew my mind. They were good people. I’ve NEVER experienced anything like that EVER -- not at a wedding, not at a party
- Some things you can’t describe in words because it takes away from it. Words would only lessen what I want to say. There are no words to share what I’m trying to say. It’s indescribable
- I enjoyed people just being people
- It’s about being humble and respectful. One thing I deeply cherish is being humbled
- It was the most powerful, spiritually uplifting thing I’ve ever experienced. I will take it to the grave
