In this powerful and thought-provoking talk, Ije McDougall invites us to reconsider how we define ourselves—and how that impacts the way we see others. Through the reexamination of Medusa’s myth, she explores the danger of incomplete stories, the influence of the loudest voices in our lives, and the link between self-compassion and empathy. ‘Before you look away, Look Again’ is a moving call to own our narratives with intention, curiosity, and kindness.
