He reflects on his childhood, where he struggled with speech and communication, but his parents never gave up on him.

Despite facing doubts, he persevered and achieved his dream of publishing children's books. The talk emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with positive voices and being a positive influence on others. It encourages listeners to choose uplifting influences and to be a source of inspiration for others, recognizing the profound effect a single moment or encounter can have on someone's future. Jermiko Thomas is a passionate Entrepreneur, Speaker, and International Award-Winning Author. Growing up, he didn’t start talking until he was six years old and also learned sign language. While doctors deemed him to be mentally slow, he still persevered and ended up testing out of the resource program in his junior year of high school. Harnessing the innate power of knowledge and reading any book he could get his hands on, his life underwent a complete transformation, and he ultimately made it his purpose to help people dismantle those no-outlet signs once and for all.
Jermiko strongly believes that no roadblock is too large. Similarly, no dream is too big, so he encourages his clients to overcome any challenges that come their way and chase after their dreams relentlessly and unapologetically. In sharing his story, he strives to awaken the infinite potential in others, for that is one of the key ingredients to paving the path to lasting success. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
