TEDx Talk part 1: Defining Your Identity
Here’s part 1 of my 3-part TEDx Talk on Expanding Your Identity to Embody Your Potential.
You’ll notice that I switch between accents quite a bit. For me, that’s just part of who I am. Different thoughts make more sense in certain accents.

Vibes to you and All you Do.
Like, Like
Like who says like, “like”?
Ever use that word more often than necessary? When I was in High School, my friend and I used to tell each other, “Okay, let’s start talking and if either of us says the “l” word, the other person will tell them. Okay?”
We didn’t get very far. Especially when describing a past event. “And he was like… and I was like…”
What IS “like”?
Nakota
I’ve recently had the opportunity to learn some words and songs of the Native American Nakota people.
My source is a gently patient medicine man who endures my questions like, “Is it ‘hee’ or ‘hay’?”, and “What comes after ho’topé?by promptly starting from the beginning again. He says he can only remember the whole song as one, while singing it properly. The song is probably happier that way, I think. 
Eventually I realized that I was trying to make those sounds fit into the confines and context of English. I was measuring it with the wrong tools.
