She will speak at TED 2015 Truth and Dare in Vancouver on March 19, reports the Daily Dot, which notes that her TED biography says the former White House intern "advocates for a safer and more compassionate social media environment, drawing from her unique experiences at the epicenter of a media maelstrom in 1998." Earlier this week, artist Nelson Shanks revealed how he sneaked a reference to Lewinsky into the portrait of Bill Clinton that hangs in the National Portrait Gallery.
