Speech and Debate


 

Speaking and Debating

“You can speak well if your tongue can deliver the message of your heart.”-John Ford

Does your stomach turn into circles if you must give a speech? How do you react when you must debate someone? Our two teen hosts, Julia and Keerthi, are accomplished speakers and debaters and they have plenty of useful tips to keep you from “dying.” Julia recently gave a Tedx talk that had her jittering in her boots. Keerthi is spearheading the Be the Star You Are!® debate collaboration with Eloquence. Both advise you to stay confident in your knowledge and the importance of your message. Authenticity resonates with audiences more than perfection. Julia heads to the airport to catch a flight for South Africa where she is performing with her choral group while Keerthi introduces our newest reporter, Hasini Ramala with her segment Teen talk!. Hasini feels right at home on the radio talking about storytelling and the importance for teens to share their real lives. She suggests that you enjoy the process of speaking about your stories and express yourself!

 

Bio: Hasini Ramala

Hasini is a high school student from the San Francisco Bay Area. She is passionate about community service and uplifting those around her. To make this dream a reality, Hasini started a non-profit that aims to work with other non-profit organizations in India to make education, sports, and music more accessible to students in underserved communities. She derives this inspiration from her grandmother, who was a philanthropist. Hasini is passionate about music and sings in various Western and Indian genres. Besides being a vocalist, she also plays an extremely unique Indian stringed instrument called the “Veena.” In her free time, Hasini enjoys spending time in nature, traveling, and watching Indian movies with her family on the weekends. She is passionate about advocating for teen mental health, as she has also had her fair share of struggles with mental health in the past. She aims to make a difference by destigmatizing mental health and raising awareness to help other teens navigate their struggles through positive, engaging discussions. Her segment is called TEEN TALK.
