Musical Ambassador Ari Honarvar will be one of eight speakers this weekend at a TEDx event called "Limitless" at San Diego State University. The goal is to bring the community together to tell stories, spark curiosity and share ideas worth spreading. "Limitless" will explore the barriers and boundaries that so often get in the way of our goals and how we overcome and break such limits. The event will promote the perseverance of people and how barriers can be used to propel us, rather than stop us from achieving our goals.

Ari is a perfect fit for this conversation. She is a writer, activist, and artist dedicated to building bridges between the arts, social justice, and well-being. Founder of Rumi with a View, she conducts Resilience Through Joy workshops on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border and in Europe. Her work has been featured in The Guardian, Washington Post, New York Times, and elsewhere. She is the author of Rumi's Gift Oracle Cards and her critically acclaimed novel, A Girl Called Rumi, is based on Ari’s experience growing up in post-revolution Iran.
