A fan of art, music, writing, politics, photography, psychology and environmental science, Tejus appreciates being given the opportunity to demonstrate his interests at a TED event that is so close and accessible to his neighborhood and community.

Our third speaker,

Guy Francis!

Guy-Francis is a captivating speaker with an uncommon and inspiring life story. He was born into poverty in Nyali, a small village in Gabon, Africa, and was raised by his mom and his uncle, a retired military policeman, after his father abandoned him before being born. As a high school dropout, he worked any labor jobs he could find, until one day, at the age of 20, a friend told him about opportunities in America. He was jailed in Paris, trying to get to London, where he eventually got a scholarship to study English as a Second Language.

He was one of the presenters for University of Washington's iGEM team and is the current drylab lead. iGEM is a famous international student competition on synthetic biology held in Boston, Massachusetts. Yoshi also started a campus chapter of Global Peace Youth, with which he took part in an international leadership and service program for a year.
