It takes a village (and sometimes a lion) | Joseph Koyie | TEDxColumbiaSIPA

- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. In one moment your life can change. What was a near brush with death turned into the most important moment of Joseph's life. It not only changed his life. It changed his family's, his community's and quite possibly the entire future of the Maasai people and others in similar remote areas.
Growing up as a Maasai in Kenya, Joseph Koyie was almost killed by a lion. This proved to be a pivotal moment in his life. He was the first of his generation to get educated and get a job. Joseph went on to be named the best guide in all of Kenya in 2012 for his work with Sanctuary Olonana in the Masai Mara. His initial desire to send his own kids to school evolved into another life changing role as Country Director of Under the Acacia, master-mining a game-changing sustainable community development model in Loita that now serves 150,000 of his tribe.

Amazing man! I just loved his talk/speech, his positive way of changing the world around him. He is a role model indeed. than you so much!
I have a friend a lady Maasai she has a great inspiring story of her life as a young maasai girl where she had to fight for her rights from the society who forced her to Undergo FGM and she managed to pretend all through with the help of her father to stage manage and pretend to have been circumcised the whole time till it was over. It was so inspiring she's now is successful.
Wow. Just wow!! I love Kenya. Its where i grew up.

I am all for education but if it's at the expense of traditional education that for generations had kept the tribe together is it worth it? Western education is one of the key factor why Africa is still colonised today. Majority of the cruel dictators got a Western education. There has to be a balance between tradition and Western way of thinking! No more telling us Columbus discover anything!
WOW this is great...i know you entawuo
This is a good story to hear
We need more people like this in Africa!
Who else is here for a school assignment

As-Salamu Alaikum !!! Brother, i've enjoyed how the masi jump up very high, this is amazing !!! Kenya my name is sonya short sound o , !!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hope your smart enough to teach them their Ancient culture along with modern knowledge please I know how far behind you are. As far as needs but there’s a lot wrong with modern western society please stay connect to the ancestors
I agree 100%. A person is vulnerable and rudderless without knowledge of their people and their ways. "The purpose of education is to perpetuate the culture." Dr. Amos Wilson, the late great African American scholar warrior. I do believe also, there is good as well as room for improvement and evolution in every culture. Violence, oppression and domination whether from the west or your own culture is wrong. For example violence against women is wrong and should be outlawed. FGM is oppressive and harmful and needs to be stopped and outlawed.
Great Video! Very inspiring!
Hata lengai nanu.😀😃
Beautiful custom, I really like it
Great am also in swiss stady and work.i love masai as the best African image ever,we African have still responsability to look buck to our people,but the qeusyion is (why Africa know?????).

This is a kenyan.
This is something good, nice storytelling and inspired about this.
Though this typically a common story sold to the "Western" countries, idk why, it's been like for years. Donor money? Kenya is sold the same way out there.
Yeap!!.. It's a way of colonizing us in the modern day. Making us dependent on donor money. And aid.... They do this, so that they can also receive donations in the name of helping Africa. It's all a scam
If you love reading, try reading a book called "how the European underdeveloped Africa" by Walter Rodney. It's very eye opening on such matters
@@positivevybes247 thanks I'll check.

42 Million is a lot of Kenyans!
IS that all you took away from the talk?
Itumo please watch video of Jim Nduruchi called Andrew re Jigger Victims in Kenya
Irene Davo why are you everywhere with this story about jiggers?
Actually we not,we have foreigners refugees who are considered citizens because of birth.
Georgina Axyen but the refugees cannot even add up to 1m ...our population has grown
Turn the lions on the colonizers.
Eroh ulipeleka ndauo majuu
awesomeee story and explains why our culture hates the doctor
Such a big story in itself. Pongezi Joseph.
i wish that you did not have to cut your hair. masaai traditional hair is beautiful and should not have to cut it to go to school
Bill Gates uhhh the audience was rite,,,who is Ted? What is Ted X?🤔
IS THIS HOW KENYANS DRESS?
No only a tribe called maasai people.
@@maggiewatkins8631 Yes. And we live in huts and play with pet lions. Sometimes they eat us but since every family has over 10 kids, there's always enough of us to carry on.
@@maggiewatkins8631 Sorry that was meant for Irene the troll.
Not all we are 40+ defrnt culture but there are same like Masai's have keep there culture dress until this day
Earn your bread my G get that donor money
