Passion to purpose | David Olayanju | TEDxSouthlake

When the pandemic shut down the world, a ten-year-old David discovered that a crisis can also clarify purpose. Through the loss of school, sports, and normal childhood routines, David found his voice through storytelling. What began as a passion for writing became a vehicle for impact—raising funds to provide over 1,000 meals to people facing food insecurity. This talk explores how adversity can awaken purpose, why humility is essential to growth, and how using what you love in the service of others can create real, measurable change—no matter your age. David Olayanju is a 15-year-old high school student and passionate writer focused on using his talents and interests as vessels to create impact in his community and the world. He is the author of Soar, an inspirational children’s book about the benefits of hard work and perseverance on the basketball court. His work has been published in the Saint Elizabeth University Community Quill and has earned him a Silver Key award in the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. He is thrilled to be sharing his story on a TEDx stage. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
