The Killer Bee Club: NATALIE WARNE
Born in an underserved part of downtown Chicago, Natalie and her five
siblings survived on her mother's humble teacher salary, moving
from city to city to find work. No stranger to adversity, Natalie was
determined to make something great out of her life. At 17 she saw
the documentary Invisible Children: The Rough Cut; a film exposing
Africa's longest running war. Compelled by this story, she applied to
be a volunteer or "roadie" for Invisible Children, using her voice to
help end this war. She quickly stood out among the other interns, and
was quickly given responsibility to help lead Invisible Children's
largest project to date; an event in 100 cities worldwide called "The
Rescue." Through her determination, tens of thousands of people came
out to the event, sleeping in the streets for up to six days in order
to raise the profile of this war.
Her efforts paid off when Oprah Winfrey invited Invisible Children, and Natalie, onto her show to add her voice to the numbers. The event was then highlighted on Larry King Live, CNN, and countless other news outlets. Natalie has natural charisma, astounding leadership qualities, and is now working in Los Angeles as a film editor, to continue to share stories of injustices. This young lady is a Killer Bee if I've ever seen one. Another excellent TED Talk.
