A Celebration of Young Talent | Rhoda Mapenzi | TEDxStLouisWomen

The Fox Performing Arts Charitable Foundation produces an incredible celebration of young talent that culminates on the stage at the St. Louis Fabulous Fox Theatre.Young artists may go on to professional careers on Broadway, in recording studios and concert halls, at the Big Top, on the big screen, and elsewhere.In this performance, we are introduced to Rhoda Mapenzi, a finalist in the 2024 St. Louis Teen Talent Competition. While Rhoda is self-taught, she comes from a musical family – everyone sings – and she has been singing her whole life - in church, the community, at home, in school, and, while on trips. Her sister Phoebe is a strong influence, encouraging Rhoda to be more confident. Rhoda plans to become an RN after high school and will continue to pursue music, which brings her joy. 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
