How to channel negativity into greatness | Yasmine Ezzair | TEDxUSF

Being able to find something we can give back to the world when we feel hindered by our negative surroundings can create a sense of inevitability in our endeavors. We are indeed limitless if we don't allow ourselves to be bound by negative experiences. Yasmine Ezzair is an undergraduate student with a major in chemistry. She is a first generation Moroccan/American who has experienced numerous instances of religious discrimination and prejudice. Yasmine has used her negative experiences to fuel a strong passion for standing up for what is right. She began a philanthropic organization called Drawings For Impact through her social media accounts. Individuals from all over the world send in pictures of themselves or loved ones to be drawn by Yasmine and 100% of the proceeds go directly to relief operations.
