The conversation begins with an introduction to Lin and her innovative work, as she chats with the Director of the TED Fellows Program.

The discussion highlights how these compelling images have ignited global dialogues and even influenced important policy conversations. Through Lin's insights, listeners gain a richer understanding of the complex nature of poverty and the challenge of representing it beyond mere statistics.
