A TED ORIGINAL PODCAST

Sincerely, X

Stories shared on the TED stage are seen and heard by millions around the world. But some ideas can't be shared in the open — there are stories that are too risky, painful, or controversial. Sincerely, X provides a space to share powerful ideas anonymously. Stories that deserve to be heard, from people who remain hidden.
