What people say

Sarah Begum is such a passion driven, engaging speaker we were fortunate to have on our TEDx Accra stage. Her talk Dreams are made of Action was one of the best talks that was presented on the day. Her passion for environmental issues was clearly defined and her session was very educative. She the best I’ve ever worked with.

Daniel Kpabi, TEDx

Sarah gave a wonderful talk, remarkably full of insight into the different people she has met on her adventures. Her boundless enthusiasm shone through as she spoke about her motivation and concerns. It was particularly fascinating to hear of her experience living with the Huaoranis in Ecuador which launched her career.
