The official TEDx talk

My ancestors would be embarrassed by me.

A provocative challenge to the excuses we inherit, the comfort we protect and the gap between the lives we imagine and the action we are willing to take.

The question beneath the work

Favour's talks do not ask audiences to feel inspired for an hour. They ask people to confront what they believe, where those beliefs came from, and what those beliefs are costing them.

What could your life become if your excuses were no longer more convincing than your possibilities?
