Explore a powerful TEDx talk that challenges perceptions of academic language and personal impact. Join Bryan Tapia, a first-generation Hispanic student at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, as he shares his journey from growing up in a low-income household in Washington Heights to pursuing a career as a lawyer in the financial district. Discover how Tapia's experiences shaped his passion for education and his goal to become a role model for future generations of Hispanic students. Learn about his vision to create an organization that helps marginalized groups fund their education and improve their financial literacy. Be inspired by Tapia's message that one's impact on the world, both large and small, should define a person rather than their way of speaking.
