    No matter how easy it seems, no matter how much you prepare it’s never easy to publicly speak. Even for those who are known for public speaking and do it regularly, it’s horrifying.

Social entrepreneur Felix Brooks-church is on a mission to solve “hidden hunger” — malnutrition caused by a lack of nutrients — by fortifying everyday foods for regions of the world hit hardest by food insecurity.
