Stop fighting the darkness inside you | STORRY M | TEDxOshawa

In this talk followed by song "you don't know me" STORRY shares her story of recovery from the trauma of being sex trafficked, and building a career as a professional singer. Her talk focuses on the concept that you have to stop running from the darkness in order to find light. STORRY is a fearless voice proving that true influence comes from vulnerability, courage, and radical honesty. An internationally acclaimed, JUNO-nominated singer, songwriter, sex-trafficking survivor, and speaker, she transforms personal experience into lessons on power, resilience, and cultural change. A finalist on The Voice UK, she has collaborated with Stormzy and shared stages with icons like Tom Jones and Sting. Her signature talks - including The 5 Laws of Real Power - fuse storytelling, music, and artistry to help audiences rewrite narratives, strengthen focus, and step into their true power. By linking personal well-being to resilience and productivity, she shows leaders and communities how investing in humanity creates healthier cultures and stronger results. Beyond the stage, she is developing a book, a groundbreaking VR experience, and a short film - all dedicated to turning pain into purpose and inspiring lasting cultural change.
