Why Adversity is the Key to Future Identity

In this powerful and deeply personal keynote, Magie takes the audience on a journey through the defining moments of her life—moments marked by hardship, struggle, and seemingly insurmountable adversity.

Through raw storytelling and lived experience, Magie reveals how life’s toughest challenges shape us into stronger, wiser, and more purpose-driven individuals.
