The Butterfly Effect | Adekunle Gold | TEDxEuston

Adekunle, using the various stages of growth a butterfly goes through as a metaphor, describes his story.

It was clear that his growth came with faith, strength and resilience. He uttered that even amongst the silence when things do not necessarily seem to be evolving, he is indeed "making moves" and "something is happening".
