TEDxPVAMU 2026: Return on Intention Session 1

TEDxPVAMU returns Friday, April 17th, with "Return on Intention" — bold ideas, purposeful action, and transformative talks at PVAMU.

TEDxPVAMU 2026: Return on Intention

What does it truly mean to invest in yourself? TEDxPVAMU 2026 invites you to explore that question through the theme of Return on Intention — the idea that our most meaningful outcomes are not accidental, but are the direct result of the conscious choices we make every day. It is a call to move beyond simply setting goals and to ask the deeper question: what are you truly putting your energy toward, and why? In a world that rewards busyness over purpose, this event challenges us to slow down, get honest about what we are building, and recognize that the greatest returns in life come from the investments we make with intention. Join us for a day of bold ideas, transformative stories, and conversations that will change the way you think about success.

Speakers:

• Danielle Johnson, breathwork facilitator and former NASA Program Executive
• Brandon Townsend, entrepreneur and engineer
• Jamaur Barnes, community strategist and CEO
• Nicholas Hunt, multimedia producer and mentor
• Jerome Howard, athlete-turned-entrepreneur and author
• Montrey Pertile, STEM educator and researcher
• Tranika Jefferson, behavioral health advocate and founder

This is more than an event — it is a movement. Come ready to be challenged, inspired, and reminded that every great story begins with a single intentional step. We will see you on April 17th at Prairie View A&M University.
