The journey starts within | Eagle Feather | TEDxOmaha

Life gives choices. The decisions we make are ours, we are responsible for them and what follows. However….what happens when the outcome is not what we had hoped. How do we come back from adversity, change the trajectory of our lives, and alter the path of ourselves and others moving forward? Eagle Feather shares his powerful journey, and mantra that we should own. The journey starts within. The choice is ours. Every decision, every step, and the journey those steps take us, starts from within us. Once we realize that we own our destiny, we can start the path to healing and greatness. Raised on the north side of Omaha (Nebraska), Eagle Feather’s early life was marked by instability, addiction, and violence. By the age of 8, he entered the foster care system; by 18, he had cycled through mental institutions, group homes, and juvenile prisons—and was facing adult time. Just six months after his release, he was incarcerated again, ultimately serving 18½ consecutive years in prison. Since his release in 2017, Eagle Feather has dedicated himself to a new path—one of purpose and transformation. As a motivational speaker, published author, and mentor, he guides young people through the same struggles he once endured, showing that redemption and resilience are always possible. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
