Going Big, Being Kind: A conversation with Nina West | Andrew Levitt (Nina West) | TEDxColumbus

What is the power of being kind? How can you stay true to that kindness as you go big? In this intimate conversation, Andrew Levitt, the man behind the drag star Nina West, explores his experience of growing in fame, while staying close to home and championing a kindness that could change the world.  Andrew has been performing in central Ohio and around the United States for the last 18 years, doing regional theatre and of course, drag. As Nina West, he has produced over 35 main stage production shows and raised over two million dollars for local and national charities through his charitable fund The Nina West Foundation. “I love all things Disney, cheese, and puppies- particularly my super-pooches, Edgar and Felicity.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
