In short: Society often focuses on high achievers or those in crisis, leaving the average person overlooked. Danielle R. Moss explores how we can shift our perspective to empower the 'forgotten middle' to dream bigger.

The 'forgotten middle' refers to students, coworkers, and everyday individuals who frequently go unnoticed because they do not present as either exceptional talents or significant problems. Social activist Danielle R. Moss argues that this oversight limits their growth.

By challenging our biases about who deserves attention and support, we can create pathways for these overlooked people to reach their full potential. The talk serves as a call to action to recognize the untapped capacity within the majority of our communities.
