Since the age of four, Adora Svitak has been exploring what she can do with the written word: everything from championing literacy and youth voice to championing feminism and empowerment for girls and women around the world. Hoping to instill her love of learning in other children, she taught her first class to students when her book, Flying Fingers, debuted; since then, she has spoken at hundreds of schools, classrooms and conferences around the world. In 2010, she delivered the speech "What Adults Can Learn from Kids" at the prestigious TED conference. That video received over two million views and has been translated into over 40 different languages. She has appeared on CNN, Good Morning America (ABC), Nightly News' "Making a Difference" (NBC), and multiple programs on the BBC. Now a junior in high school, Adora organizes the youth TEDx event TEDxRedmond (with over 1000 attendees this year), blogs widely about youth and women's issues, and proudly subscribes to Ms. Magazine.
