Hello Charleston and beyond,

Greetings and a Happy New Year! I am contacting you on behalf of nationally renowned artist and Charleston native, Okeeba Jubalo, who was selected as the 2023 featured artist for TEDx Charleston.

Our team is reaching out to a selection of local high schools, colleges & universities to inquire about partnering with us for our 2023 TEDx production. We are currently looking for scholars who are passionate about the arts and event production to serve as interns for this major production.

If you are interested in discussing the details, I would like to schedule a call or use Zoom to do so.

This type of exposure and experience is invaluable and will help move their creative careers forward.

Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

House Rules

• Leave the recording + posting to us. Please do not discuss

the show outside your class.

• Do not post anything about the rehearsal on social media.

• Do not take photos

• Remain in your seats until the emcee announces the breaks

and the end.

• During the breaks please remain at the Music Hall.

• It’s a rehearsal; anything can happen.

Theater Etiquette

• A great performance depends on the presenters, the crew, and the audience.

• Visit the restroom before the performance begins.

• Be in your seat on time.

• Do laugh when the performance is funny.

• Do applaud when it is appropriate during the performance.

• Stand and applaud if you really thought the show was great.

• Turn off your cell phone Do not speak on the phone during the performance.

• Be quiet during the performance...being mindful of the people seated around you and those on stage…

whispering is still speaking, so only in an emergency.

• The overture (introductory music) is part of the performance, so be quiet when it begins.

• Do not take pictures during the performance. It can be very distracting to those on stage and can cause

a mishap.

• Keep your feet on the floor, do not put your feet up on the seats or balcony and do not kick the seat in

front of you.

• Do not angle your head together with your "special someone" – this obstructs the view of the people

behind you.

Departure

We ask that the schools with the farthest to drive be the first to depart the theater. The schools that are remaining downtown after the rehearsal, please allow the other schools to leave first.

How to bring humanity back to finance | Sheena Allen | TEDxSanFrancisco

Since 2008, more than 10,000 bank branches have closed in the U.S.; one out of every four Americans is underbanked. Contrary to popular belief, being financially underserved does not just hurt the poor, it also impacts communities and the larger economy as a whole.

In this eye-opening talk, fintech entrepreneur Sheena Allen, founder and CEO of CapWay, explains the importance of providing effective financial services to communities, and how she is using technology to ensure all communities have access to them.
