Understanding the Impact of Trauma on Children | Destiny Ayo Vaughan | TEDxTraleeWomen

This talk shares Destiny’s extraordinary journey from childhood poverty, abuse, and trafficking to becoming a survivor who rebuilt her life piece by piece. She reveals how trauma shapes identity, how healing is never linear, and why compassion matters. Her story leads to creating 'Mind the Gap Ireland', an anonymous platform empowering survivors to speak. A dedicated scholar and activist, recently graduating from the University of Aberdeen with an MSc in Psychological Studies and a Bachelor's honours degree in Social Science, both earned through scholarships. She also holds a Level Five qualification in Early Childhood Education. Currently, Destiny is pursuing a master's degree in Clinical Health Psychology at Queen's University, supported by another academic scholarship. Alongside her studies, she works as a public speaker with the London Speaking Bureau. In 2019, Destiny founded Mind the Gap Ireland (MTGI), the country's first anonymous storytelling platform for survivors of sexual violence. MTGI has since become a vital support network, helping hundreds each year and giving voice to many previously unheard. Her social impact has earned her a place in the 2023 Social Entrepreneurs Ireland Ideas Academy and the sheGenerates program for female founders. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
