Theme: Go Beyond and Make it Happen

The years of 2020/21 were marked in history due to the challenges that were present to us. It is said that we live in unpredictable and challenging times. At TEDx, we prefer to look at them as times of breakthrough, growth, and innovation for which we have chosen the motto "Go Beyond and make it happen" for this year's edition of the event.

Denise Amélia Matsule

Medical Doctor & Menstrual Activist

My name is Denise Amélia Matsule, 25 years old, Mozambican, Medical doctor, change-maker, and a menstrual activist. I have a love for my white lab coat and I wear it to give and to serve. Ensuring that an individual is in good health and able to reach his or her full potential, is my driving force. Monotony is not a preference and for that reason, I pursue a challenging career. I am passionate about books, I love to express myself through writing, am curious about exploring new places, am an avid lover of acquiring new knowledge, and now a blogger for menstrual health and education.

Ilza Varínia Cambaza

Medical Doctor & GirlMover

My name is Ilza Varínia Maiel Cambaza, a 26 years old Mozambican medical doctor who is a dreamer and a changemaker, passionate and curious about emergency care, general surgery, and how the human mind works. These passions were born due to the hardship I saw during my time in medical school, especially when it came to accessing emergency medical care, and I decided to dedicate my life to changing that reality. My other passions include reading and traveling and I love to learn about and explore new places and subjects. They often lead me into different worlds and realities, showing me a new perspective. Empathetic and loyal to my patients and loved ones, I always strive to better myself and empower and lift up others around me. Regardless of the challenges, I may face, I will continue to work to ensure the universal right of access to quality health care and will make the world a healthier, safer, and more prosperous place to live.

Stijn Spaas

Director of Corporate Brand Strategy at Hawaiian Host Group

Stijn Spaas was born and raised in a fairly small city in Belgium. The size of his city never held him back, he wanted to gain global experience and that’s exactly what he did. At a very young age, he landed his dream jobs in Los Angeles and later in Honolulu, where he resides today. How? By going above and beyond. By always going the extra mile. That’s how Stijn turned small opportunities — that frankly, no one else cared about — into life-changing events. During his talk, he’ll share key lessons with you that can help you do the same.
