Who Said The Sky Is The Limit ? | Rania Toukebri | TEDxUniversityofCarthage

After 20 years in Classical Ballet, Rania Toukebri discovered her passion for Space.

According to her, we each have an enormous amount of energy within us. We have to direct it towards the positive and despite the shocking death of her father, space is what saved her.

“Humans are explorers. Since the beginning of time, they have sought to observe the capacity for life outside of Earth. We are a tiny thing in this world compared to what is happening on the scale of the universe. We don't know what the purpose of life is. So let's have a purpose beyond our own lives.”

They say that the sky is the limit but it’s clearly not the case for our top-notch speaker.

Our inspiring aerospace engineer Rania Toukebri sets new expectations for Tunisian women and for the Tunisian raw talent generally.

It came to our attention that until now the aerospace field is, unfortunately, a male-dominated field.

The contribution of our speaker in terms of achievement and advocating for women’s rights as astronauts are clearly making a change.

Being such a versatile ambassador does certainly imply a huge impact.
In her speech, Rania made sure to portray her love for space and will challenge your curiosity the same way the infinite space does everyday. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
