Question: If someone could tell one person anything after watching this Ted Talk what would it be and why? Tiffany Jana: So as you just heard, I'd like to talk to you today about privilege, diversity, and giving back. But honestly, when I hear introductions like that, they make people sound so spectacular, so I'd like to offer another possible introduction for me. "Tiffany Jana started college when she was 15 years old. She dropped out at age 18, got married way too young, survived a teenage pregnancy at 19, was on food stamps while surviving domestic violence, so she finished college online, started her first business, tanked that business, got divorced not once but twice, and married three times, let's welcome her to the stage!" That paints a very different picture, but that is reality. That is the truth of who I am, and I am nothing without my failures It's part of my invisible diversity. So I've survived a lot of really difficult things with help from some really amazing women, and it has taken me a long time to get here, to the point where I'm standing on a stage at a TEDx event speaking
