Michaela Chen spent eight years as a housing rights lawyer, earning $42,000 a year while her brothers made six figures at corporate firms. Her parents uninvited her from Thanksgiving, calling her career choice an embarrassment. What they didn't know? She'd just won Patterson v. City of Toronto—a landmark case that protected 340 families from eviction, awarded $4.2 million in damages, and changed housing law across Ontario. And she was about to give a TEDx talk about it. This is a story about: Choosing impact over income when everyone tells you you're wrong The moment family realizes they've been measuring success by the wrong metrics Why the quiet ones who follow their values often win in the end How one lawyer's "embarrassing" career changed the legal system for thousands of Canadians ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - The text message that changed everything 03:45 - Eight years of family disappointment 08:20 - The Patterson case: Fighting for 340 families 14:15 - TEDx invitation and the secret she kept 19:30 - December 8th: When her family showed up 25:40 - On stage: "My family said this work was embarrassing" This story explores family rejection, career pressure, and what it means to stay true to your purpose when the people closest to you don't understand.
