Christy VanCleave opened and operates Muddy Paws in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a non-profit grooming, boarding, and day care training facility. A former felon, Christy trains other incarcerated women and felons for pet care careers by helping rescue dogs. In her talk, she shares her background in and out of jail and how she helps other women turn their lives around through working with other felons and saving abandoned dogs. Oklahoma has the highest female incarceration rate in the world.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
