You are a victim of your brain and your institutions. Your Identity is based on lies fed to you to help you survive, but the results prevent you from thriving. Learn to reinvent. Reinvent the standards that determine your value. Reprogram your brain, reclaim your identity, get truth, and reinvent you. Hannah Jaramillo is a changemaker and student at the University of Evansville. Her project, the CommuniTree, was the winner of the University of Evansville’s first Changemaker Challenge in 2016, where she was granted a full tuition scholarship. The CommuniTree, located at Mickey’s Kingdom in downtown Evansville, is the tallest solar tree in the world, and will serve the purpose of a bridge between technological, social, and environmental enagagement. Hannah has progressed and completed many changemaking initiatives since 2016, including marketing and volunteering for a non-profit improving U.S. diplomacy in Cuba, local urban planning and connectivity, millennial retention and space creation, and community engagement projects. 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
