About TEDx Grayhawk Youth

Eva Pateria is a young woman with a heart full of hope and a voice that longs to make a difference. She loves public speaking because it gives her the power to touch lives, to spark change, and to remind people of the good that still exists in the world. Her theme, “What Makes Us Human,” was born from a deep desire to change the world — or at least her community, to start with. In a time when empathy is too often overshadowed by cruelty and indifference, Eva wants to help us rediscover our shared humanity. Through her words, she hopes to awaken compassion, inspire kindness, and remind us that even the smallest acts of love can ripple outward and heal the world around us.
