but I would like to encourage all the
pain in 17 is one massive giant problem
now question is because there’s billions
of tiny pictures
it’s like works we’re never gonna have
time to do this and when did we start
well there’s bad news and there’s good
news the bad news is that the problems
that we see these massive problems we’re
not built overnight the good news is
that these massive problems that we’ve
seen were not built overnight you see
every single thing that we count as
negative or splited in it or some form
of injustice has been in the making for
em it’s been built up until now okay
which means that we’re not expected to
take everything down all at once and
which also means that the same way these
massive problems stem from everyday
actions we can use everyday actions to
get rid of them okay so there is a way
to kind of tackle this and to deal with
all of them but we have to start right
here and right now okay because history
has a head start on us so only way I get
moving is by starting there now the
question is the way I always say finding
your piece will lead you to your piece
and what I mean by that is exactly what
I’m going to do right now to calm myself
down I need everybody to take a second
just take a deep breath why would I do
that anytime I’m overwhelmed because I
need to reorient myself the fact of the
matter is that everything you see in the
world whether we want to do this as a
giant problem or a million tiny ones can
be overwhelming especially in a world
where we always have our phones out we
have a 24 hour news cycle and there
seems to always be a tragedy occurring
it’s just back to back to back to back
we don’t even really have time to react
much left to process and prepare to
develop solutions to these problems and
so the first thing I always do that’s
shut everything there now I know that’s
pretty abnormal for the world we knew
and there’s a little bit of guilt
because everyone says
have to be informed and you have to know
what’s going on I don’t bother I said
everything that I couldn’t see me off I
get off Facebook I get on Twitter and I
take a step back and I take a step back
because just like this picture if you’re
at the wrong angle this is just a big
old mess it’s just a big old mess
sometimes you need to step back to see
how it all works together and to orient
yourself so that you don’t get
overwhelmed okay when you find that
piece and you’re able to calm yourself
down
you can actually take some rational
steps to figure out how we can solve the
problem now the same way you find that
PA sieepiess I want you to find your P
ie sieepiess and the way you do that is
by moving back towards you’re going to
zoom in instead of zooming out okay and
what I mean by that is you’re to zoom
right in to where you are your life your
community your and bike start with the
things that matter to you
you can’t fix all of these bombs notice
we can’t find your piece
it’s a massive puzzle and all you have
to do is writing to where you are your
picture and you’ll know exactly where to
start
okay so we’ve got the way we’ve got the
win talk about the help a lot of people
ask me how I know I’m an actress and
what they need and my simple answer is
that I do activism you said earlier only
speaker here you have to do to be okay
you ever met those people were like
super hardcore working out CrossFit five
people you know the kind of those people
they spit they spin and spent day after
day hour after hour and somebody’s Jim
on camera filming themselves flipping
off of things
they spent countless hours of time and
energy doing that so that they could
then identify themselves as what they
were doing you have to do to be and I
promise you I didn’t plan this but it
worked together anyway so the first
thing I always say your everyday kind of
activism should start with you being who
you are is an act of activism in and of
itself ok you may not believe this was a
child I was loud all this boisterous I
loved wild hair I was wild I didn’t care
I had all these opinions and thoughts
and I grew up in the south which meant I
was everything a little girl was not
supposed to be everything I did
everything I was was referred to as mash
by the people around me and for a while
I tried very hard to fit in to be normal
if you will it didn’t go so well but I’m
glad that it didn’t because I learned at
an early age that what I was at the time
was positive for boys and what I grew up
learning eventually was that people
would refer to the very qualities that
were demonized as leadership qualities
and I was like wait a minute now ha the
boy over here needs to be loud and funny
and charismatic and wild and he’s a
leader what would that make me and so as
I begin to really pay attention to how
my quality is in and of themselves
weren’t a problem but that because they
were attached to me as a girl and
specifically as a woman of color they
were problematic I began to learn that I
wasn’t this and that even in making
people uncomfortable me just accepting
and being myself was the form of
activist me standing here as a woman of
color who in a society to do that and
express how I feel and what I want to do
and where I want to go we still live in
a world that says I’m not necessarily in
my place so right here right now me just
being here me just existing breathing
wearing my hair the way I want to wear
my hair the way it was naturally created
that is a form of activism so the first
thing I want to do is encourage you to
be you if you want to be a smart time
artistic boy if you want to defy
stereotypes do that if you want to be a
strong loud girl do then be you because
that’s the greats activism you could
ever do in your life
okay now the beat being you will lead
you to your where okay who you are
automatically informs the things that
matter to you
you might care about the environment you
might care about health you might care
about activity or I don’t know planting
trash or social activism but who you are
informs your way so if you’re still
trying to figure out where you can start
with your activism look itself look in
the mirror because you has already shown
you the way okay
another positive benefit of being you is
in half it teaches you how your gifts
your talents your abilities all those
answers are they
you’ll find your win your we’re sorry
and your you will show you the half so
honestly if you do nothing else to be an
activist just keeping in you because
it’ll take you further than you could
ever imagine
another form of everyday activism will
be challenging the status quo part of we
can be being you ask questions and not
sagas of young people you don’t have to
but don’t be afraid to ask questions as
the wife starts to question that if
that’s just how the way that’s just the
way things are don’t accept that as an
answer okay especially when it comes to
big world problems now I think you can’t
have you know two packs of fruit snacks
and you lie well whatever so but when it
comes to you know issues really big
world issues start asking questions and
don’t stop asking questions
okay you’re always there gonna lead you
every single time all right
join a community of activists I’d love
to do that
you guys are online all the time go on
Twitter it like it share that’s activism
you’re a part of something that is
bigger than you and that little act when
actually you can have a great impact I
have conversations online all the time
where I’m learning things or I’m showing
someone something else new and it’s all
because I just hit a little bit
something that I don’t even have to
think about and just do it and all of a
sudden things are moving we are more
connected now than we have ever been all
you have to do is hit a button okay now
there are countless things that you can
do here I mean I won’t walk through them
all but the fact is that little tiny
actions can lead to big net okay
this is false a a bad case of the
widow’s now if you also information and
I’m sorry just come through it all out
you threw it all out at you but there
are some very real concerns the first is
fear a lot of things start because of
I’m really good at talk but in this
moment I’m not the most brave as I could
possibly be that said I’ve always taken
the approach to life to just do things
afraid fear is normal
it happened it’s a human reaction in
fact if you’re not afraid right now
given our global and national climate
something might be wrong with you fear
fear is real and I’m never gonna lie to
you and say it will stop being green
that’s not a reason to not do what you
need to do you want to do something
doing you can be afraid do it Frank I
just got an airplane last year I was
scared I jumped out of that airplane
because I spent five hundred dollars to
jump out up in there I was going jump I
didn’t care if I was okay so if you’re
free that’s all right it’s natural and
it’s gonna happen do it a friend what if
I fail what if you say take a second go
back to what I said before everything
that we see now is a big massive problem
has been has been in the making for
years if you don’t succeed and
little small action you won’t the world
won’t fall to pieces okay everything’s
gonna keep going the status quo might
continue for a little while longer but
all that means and that you have more
time to get it right okay step start now
so that you have the time to figure it
out you’re going to fail life is as much
about failure as it is about successes
good ass the first people said self
forward it’s okay to think I fail and
fall all the time I get up and I keep
moving okay
so failure it’s okay it’s gonna happen
what if I’m too small
who in here never felt like they were
too small to do something but you know
what it’s not the great news about being
too small is that the solution to the
problem is small just like the problem
is built every day and with small
interactions and those small
conversations and those small comments
they might be offensive and they might
not seem like such a big deal that
builds all systems so it’s going to take
okay what am i doing up has anybody in
here seen Harry Potter or The Hunger
Games or every single public
post-apocalyptic film that we have had
released in the last 20 years business
your time you’ve literally been trained
by Stephenie Meyer and JK Rowling and
you literally been trained to believe
that it is your job the teenagers to go
and stop even it is you have the power
that is that’s who you are
so you’re never too young to start
absolutely not
go out to be Hermione or wherever you
want to be because that’s the message
you’ve been sent and it’s absolutely
true okay fine question to find out what
it is what if I can’t do about myself
you’re not Foster that’s the point of
joining the community you have one tiny
piece of
you join with others and we’ll figure it
out together okay
now former President Barack Obama just
released the poll and kind of stole my
speech so I get back Asylum oh he talks
about how young people have been at the
forefront of all of our nation’s great
movements and he is last words my words
that I want to leave with you as you
begin to find your place in the world of
activism and you join these communities
always know that there have been tons of
people who have come before you my time
is almost there I’m the first half in
the blended generation our time is
almost done you guys are coming to the
forefront okay we have been waiting on
you and we do have here back please know
that like it when you want to stand up
against injustice especially students
here if you see me I’m here let me know
I’m always okay and there are countless
others who have come before you and who
are right here willing to march with you
and stand up with you against whatever
is going on
so always know that we’re right behind
you
and we’re pushing you forward because
you are the next generation back to this
okay now follow my young people without
here there’s a man out there named DJ
cap okay Kevin always things they don’t
want them to be great they don’t want us
to win so you know we don’t do we’re
gonna win okay you’re gonna go out there
you’re going to find your piece of the
puzzle you’re gonna do what you have to
do I’m gonna do my part
you’re gonna be your car you’re gonna
start with the environment you’re going
to do something small every day and
we’re going to build this thing
piece by piece by piece until it all
comes crumbling down the only way to
solve these massive problems is through
small conscious everyday actions and you
do it together we can end up with the world
pain in 17 is one massive giant problem
now question is because there’s billions
