Why should we write like no one will ever read our work? In this talk, Elise Tao revisits moments in her life that have shaped her approach to writing—that is, unabashedly candid. Using everything from a New Yorker rejection letter to a middle school diary she somehow is still emotionally attached to, Elise will make the case for internal validation and self-realization as a creative. • TEDxMahwah Executive Team: Cyril Rikh (Executive Director), Michelle C. Paz (Communications Director), Gavin Guerrette (Editor in Chief), Pratibha Rikh (Event Manager), Mark Leschinsky (Video Editing Director), Chloe Cho (Musical Performance Director). • TEDxMahwah Volunteer Credits: Talk Editing (David Adkins, Mirika Jambudi, and Tess Bowler), Emcee (Mike Feeney), Public Speaking Coaching (Chris Xia and Michelle Tillis Lederman), Video Editing (Barbara Leschinsky and Gary Leschinsky), Musicians (Solis and Luna Arts: Violin 1, Chloe Cho; Violin 2, Victor Hsu; Viola, Mason Lee; and Cello, Nicholas Kim), Animation (Kim Lagunas), Photography (Sam Cohen), Press Relations and Media (Aiden J.
