23 speakers joined our collective Metamorphosis last November. A carefully curated selection of luminaries and changemakers, from all walks of life and corners of the world, delivered ideas worth spreading on our TEDxBucharest stage. Here’s Tijana Tamburic, sharing her thoughts on what happened when her masculine met her feminine.

Tijana is a storyteller and mother hen to creative agency Female Narratives, which operates using a collective of over 100 female freelancers to tell authentic stories for brands, directly. After a modeling agency suddenly dropped her for not being “thin enough”, Tijana co-founded Female Narratives with associate model Franziska Klein. An overnight idea, the feeling that something was missing and a 2-people decision – this is how a creative agency that operates to connect brands to real female freelancers & real stories began. Tijana collaborates with clients like Squarespace, North Face, Bumble, W Hotels and loads of female-led ethical brands. Her stories come in many different forms: a branding concept, an experiential marketing strategy, a social media campaign or a travel/culture article. She is a UCL history graduate with experience in publishing, press, PR, production, project management and editorial roles.

All over the world, women are gaining more attention and take charge of their future. In business, sports, leadership, arts and crafts, science, social good, entrepreneurship, you name it. As bona fide forces of change, women are now reinventing their narrative into a more meaningful, self-determined but inclusive conversation. Women March Together was our collective celebration that went beyond a spring tradition. We are now marching towards a more positive and inspiring outlook on the present and future of women. WMT was not a moment, it was a MOVEMENT with ripples in the years to come. These were the impressive humans that stepped on our TEDxBucharestSalon stage on March 7th, in 3 combo conversations with Alexandru Agatinei, behind the stage.
