Be You: The Journey from Self-Hate to Self-Love | Madox Hoang Nguyen | TEDxHanoi
In this heartfelt and inspiring talk, Hoang Nguyen (Madox) shares his personal journey from self-doubt and pain to confidence and self-acceptance. Growing up, he faced bullying and struggled with self-worth, but a pivotal moment at 14 pushed him to rewrite his own narrative. By embracing his true self, standing up for his worth, and changing his perspective, he transformed his life. His philosophy - "Slower, Deeper, Faster" - became a guiding force, helping him find balance, purpose, and joy.Through raw storytelling, Madox reminds us that we all have the power to break free from self-hate and embrace who we truly are. His message is clear: Choose yourself. Respect yourself. Love yourself. Because in the end, we don’t have time to be anybody else - we only have time to be ourselves.#TEDxHanoi #BeRichOrBeYou
Hoang Nguyen (Madox) is no stranger to the fashion scene, especially for those who love bold and unique street style. Having spent years living in Germany, he has gained invaluable experience from the European fashion industry. Over the years, he has worked with world-renowned brands like L’Oréal, Estée Lauder, and LVMH. Despite his success in Europe, Madox constantly seeks new challenges. That’s why he returned to Vietnam—to build his own fragrance and fashion brands from the ground up. At first glance, people might be drawn to Madox’s striking tattoos, but behind each one lies a story, a memory, and a deep life lesson. To him, tattoos are more than just body art—they represent a journey filled with challenges, growth, and perseverance.
