A
My
name
is
Sophia
seconds
I'm
a
sophomore
at
Newport
and
I'm.
Also,
a
youth
link
board
member
this
year.
C
All
right
thanks,
Richard,
hey
everyone.
My
name
is
Liam
Kroll
I'm
on
the
Bellview
youth
Council
executive
committee,
as
the
co-vice
president
I'm
from
Interlake
High
School
welcome.
A
A
So
the
city
of
Bellevue
acknowledges
that
we
are
on
the
indigenous
land
of
the
Coast
Salish
peoples
who
have
reserved
treaty
like
rights
to
this
land,
including
the
duwamish
Suquamish,
Muckleshoot,
Indian
and
Snoqualmie
Indian
tribes.
We
thank
these
caretakers
of
this
land
to
have
lived
and
continue
to
live
here
since
time
and
Memorial.
We
would
also
like
to
share
this
additional
statement
from
the
duwamish
tribe.
It
is
important
to
note
that
this
kind
of
land
acknowledgment
is
not
a
new
practice
developed
by
Colonial
institutions.
A
Land
acknowledgment
is
a
traditional
custom
dating
back
centuries
for
many
Native
communities
and
Nations
for
non-indigenous
communities.
Land
acknowledgment
is
a
powerful
way
of
showing
respect
and
honoring.
The
indigenous
peoples
of
this
land,
on
which
we
work
and
live
acknowledgment,
is
a
simple
way
of
resisting
the
Erasure
of
indigenous
histories
and
working
towards
honoring
and
inviting
the
truth.
B
E
Thank
you.
Some
is
this
on.
Can
you
hear
me?
Oh
there
you
go
hey.
Thank
you
so
much
Richard
and
hey.
You
know
to
put
something
like
this
on.
It
takes
a
lot
of
work
and
we
have
lots
of
Staff
people
here.
I
want
to
recognize,
especially
the
the
leaders
here,
Patrick
Alina,
as,
as
you
know,
I'd
like
to
give
him
a
round
of
applause.
E
I
also
saw
Tony
esparz
out
there
working
she's,
probably
working
trying
to
keep
things
moving
here
as
well,
but
she's
a
big
part
of
this,
as
well
as
Marcus
and
Justin
from
our
di
group
here.
Can
you
raise
your
hands
yeah?
Please
give
them
a
round
of
applause
as
well,
and
I
see
Glenn
Rousseau
there,
I
I,
don't
know
if
you're
supporting
the
event
or
not
but
from
our
Community
Development,
Department
I,
know
and
if
I've
missed
anybody
I
apologize,
but
thank
you
guys
for
all
being
here
and
so
good
morning.
E
This
it's
a
really
exciting
conference.
How
many
can
I
get
a
show
of
hands
of
how
many
of
you
have
been
to
City
Hall,
okay,
okay,
a
lot
of
you
have
not
been
here.
Well,
we
just
welcome
you
here
today
for
the
23
2023
youth
involvement
conference,
as
they
mentioned.
My
name
is
Brad
Miyake,
I'm
city
manager
here
and
is,
and
as
I
mentioned
before,
we're
just
super
happy
to
be
hosting
you
here
today.
E
It's
really
an
honor
to
be
part
of
the
this
event,
that's
been
organized
by
the
Youth
League
members
and
for
looking
at
just
currently.
What's
going
on
in
the
city
as
well
as
the
future
Bellevue
youth
link,
for
those
of
you
don't
know,
is
a
really
deep
history
in
Roots
in
Bellevue,
it's
been
around
for
33
years,
and
this
conference
was
actually
has
been
part
of
the
youth
links.
It's
the
Inception
of
Youth
link
since
that
time.
E
What's
really
cool
is
that
the
program
that
you
think
program
itself
offers
youth
an
opportunity
for
public
service
by
serving
the
Bellevue
Community
in
lots
of
different
roles
and
for
gaining
conduction
connections
with
really
aspiring
youth
in
the
community
and
where
a
lot
of
the
planning
and
work
happens
is
with
the
youth
link
board,
which
consists
of
12,
youth
and
six
adults,
which
is
an
Advisory
Board
to
me,
as
the
manager
for
providing
policy,
input
and
policy
development
and
I
know,
we
have
a
number
of
members
here
today
from
the
adults.
E
You
know
what
what
the
board
does
you
think
board
and
you
think
itself
does
it
really
provides
a
lot
of
good
information
and
support
to
us
at
the
City
by
providing
us?
You
know
great
input
into
what's
happening
in
the
at
the
Youth
Level
and
what
we
at
the
city
could
do
in
terms
of
serving
the
youth
and
serving
the
community
better.
E
So
you
know
you
have
a
really
exciting
day
ahead
of
you
today
with
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
hear
from
some
really
good
speakers
industry
speakers
and
to
learn
about
what's
happening
at
at
the
city
here.
But,
more
importantly,
what
we
really
want
to
hear
is
from
you.
We
want
to
hear
your
voice
and
what
you
think
about
some
of
the
important
topics
that
are
happening
not
just
in
the
city
but
Society
in
general.
So
this
is
your
day
as
we
said
to
rebuild,
reconnect
and
reimagine
the
future
of
Bellevue.
C
E
C
He
has
spoken
at
the
hundreds
of
thousands
of
people
and
loves
to
work
with
young
people
who
are
committed
to
creating
good
in
this
world.
So
Christian
is
a
first
generation
college
graduate
and
act
six
scholar
and
is
passionate
about
Community,
anti-racial,
equity
and
empowerment.
He's
spent
his
career
in
and
around
education,
advocating
for
historically
marginalized
populations
and
working
to
create
Equitable
environments
where
young
people
can
thrive.
C
F
Thank
you
so
much,
oh
good
morning,
everyone,
oh,
this
is
the
part
where
you
say
good
morning
back
good
morning.
Everyone
all
right!
All
right
can
can
I
can
I
talk
spicy
to
you
early,
the
fair
right.
If
I
talk
to
you
today,
please
feel
okay.
Talking
back
to
me,
I
worked
in
Bellevue
schools
for
a
while
and
I
know
that
you
all
are
very
studious.
F
You
are
very
brilliant
individuals
and
I
know
that
sometimes
we've
been
socialized
in
classrooms
that
whoever
has
the
microphone
is
the
person
that
we're
supposed
to
be
paying
attention
to,
but
I
don't
want
you
to
forget
that
today
is
about
your
voice
right,
so
please
don't
be
afraid
to
use
it.
So
when
I
say
good
morning
to
you,
you
can
say
awesome.
Man
I'm
really
excited
to
have
the
opportunity
to
be
here
with
you
all
today.
F
Thank
you
for
the
wonderful
introduction
before
I
tell
you
anything
before
I
tell
you
about
things
that
you
should
be
doing
before.
We
do
any
of
that.
F
I
always
believe
as
an
educator
right
people
don't
care
what
you
know
until
they
know
that
you
care
and
people
don't
really
care
about
the
things
that
you
have
to
share
with
them
until
they
know
that
you're
human,
too,
so
can
I
share
some
things
about
my
life
with
you
is
that,
okay,
if
you
all
said
no,
there
wasn't
really
a
plan
B,
but
I'd
like
to
share
with
you
a
little
bit
about
who
I
am
right.
F
I
realized
that
like
this
is
the
way
that
I
operate.
I
know
that
we're
in
city
council,
chamber
of
space,
but
I
I
show
up
as
relatable
and
as
I,
think
beautiful
as
I.
Possibly
can
I
think
it's
strange
right
that
if
my
job
is
to
be
in
community
with
folks
that
I
would
wear
clothing
or
present
myself
in
a
way
that
feels
aloof
or
distant,
and
you
all
heard
where
I'm
from
it's
my
favorite
place
on
the
planet.
F
I
grew
up
in
the
city
of
Tacoma
right
I'm,
just
down
the
road
from
you,
I'm
not
far.
I
grew
up
in
a
time
period
that
some
people
would
consider
to
be
a
little
bit
rough
in
that
space,
I'm
a
little
bit
old
right,
I'm,
post
young
I'm,
not
old.
Sometimes
people
think
that
I'm
still
in
high
schools
when
I
go
there
but
conversation
for
another
time,
but
I
grew
up
in
a
time
period
right
where
there
were
some
really
cool
things
that
were
happening
in
the
city
of
Tacoma.
F
There
were
also
some
not
so
awesome
things
that
people
were
saying
about
us
right.
Y'all
ever
said
something
bad
about
Tacoma.
Before
don't
raise
your
hand,
didn't
know
how
to
say
something
bad
about
you,
I'm
joking
I
grew
up
there
and
at
the
time
period
as
I
was
getting
ready
to
walk
into
high
school.
There
were
local
and
National
newspapers
who
were
writing
about
us
and
they
were
not
saying
kind
things.
F
Anybody
ever
underestimated.
You
before
show
hands
in
the
room.
Anybody
ever
said
something
about
you.
That
may
not
have
been
true
right.
There
were
a
lot
of
folks
who
were
writing
about
us
and
saying
things
to
the
effect
of
all
seven
of
the
comprehensive
high
schools.
In
that
District
are
Dropout
factories,
they
placed
their
data
and
statistics
everywhere.
They
said
that
only
60
percent
of
the
students
in
our
schools
would
graduate.
They
said
that
the
projected
rate
of
graduation
for
brown
or
black
bodies
was
below
50
percent
right.
F
They
spoke
really
ill
of
the
individuals
who
were
present
in
that
space
But.
What
I
realized
in
that
time
period
is
that
one
of
the
most
important
beliefs
in
the
world
are
the
things
that
we
believe
about
ourselves
right,
and
so
there
was
a
bit
of
a
Renaissance
that
occurred
during
this
time.
There
was
a
teacher
who
taught
out
what
people
thought
was
the
worst
District
or
the
school
in
the
district
right.
He
was
a
math
teacher
and
he
was
tired
of
seeing
his
students
be
spoken
about
in
that
way
right.
F
What
he
understood
is
that
the
students
probably
knew
the
solutions
better
than
anybody
else
right.
One
of
the
things
that
we
often
don't
tell
young
people
who
adults
close
your
ears
for
a
quick.
Second,
one
of
the
things
that
we
don't
tell
young
people
enough
is
that
some
of
the
best
movements
that
have
happened
on
this
soil,
some
of
the
most
important
things
that
have
happened
in
this
country,
have
come
about
because
young
people
were
willing
to
be
vocal
right.
There's
not
really
a
civil
rights
movement
in
the
way
that
we
know
it.
F
If
you
don't
have
the
student
non-violent,
Coordinating,
Committee
or
the
Freedom
Riders
right,
education
doesn't
look
the
way
that
we
know
it.
When
we
talk
about
representation,
if
it's
not
for
a
group
of
students
at
Berkeley
right,
young
people's
voices
have
always
been
important
in
this
conversation,
and
the
teacher
I
was
at
Lincoln.
High
School
knew
this
right.
He
started
a
tutoring
program
in
his
garage,
which
felt
a
little
Rinky
Dink
right,
but
anything
that
we
can
do
within
our
sphere
of
influence
is
important
right.
F
The
five
the
excuse
me,
the
program
in
the
garage
became
a
501c3.
It
became
a
non-profit
and
he
found
himself
courageous
enough
to
step
to
colleges
and
college
presidents
and
tell
them
that
if
they
were
invested
in
community
in
the
way
that
they
said
they
were
that
they
might
want
to
put
some
of
their
money
where
their
mouth
is
and
they
created
a
program
that
was
called
act.
Six.
F
The
program
sent
students
from
our
community
right
to
colleges
across
the
state
and
some
of
those
top
colleges,
with
the
hopes
that
we
would
come
back
to
our
communities
and
transform
things
right.
The
reason
why
I'm
in
front
of
you
today
is
because
somebody
saw
me
as
valuable
important
before
I
knew,
that
about
myself
right
I
was
one
of
the
recipients
of
that
program.
Excuse
me
of
that
scholarship
participated
in
the
program
found
myself
home
and
a
lot
of
the
ways
that
you
all
are
thinking
about.
Your
community
found
myself
thinking
about
my
community.
F
It
was
a
part
of
a
network
and
team
of
individuals
who
were
interested
in
transforming
our
neighborhoods.
Now
somebody
in
the
room
I
know
that
you
all
are
in
Middle
School
in
high
school.
Some
of
you
may
be
interested
in
industrial
and
organizational
psychology
or
public
policy,
or
things
of
that
nature,
and
what
I
would
offer
to
you
is
that
a
lot
of
times
when
we
talk
about
change
from
one
thing
to
another?
How
many
of
you
all
know
that
that
takes
time?
F
How
many
of
y'all
get
impatient
right,
and
sometimes
you
want
to
see
change
happen
tomorrow
and
in
normal
schemes
of
things.
Sometimes
it
takes
somewhere
between
5
and
15
years
to
see
a
shift
like
that
when
I
walked
into
High
School,
it
was
2007
by
the
time
2017
rolled
around.
We
found
ourselves
in
classrooms.
We
found
ourselves
in
boardrooms.
We
found
ourselves
as
Leaders
of
non-profits.
F
We
found
ourselves
all
across
the
city
implementing
the
change
that
we
wanted
to
see
in
the
world,
and
we
were
the
humans
who
modeled
that
first,
by
the
time
2017
rolled
around
our
school
district
had
surpassed
a
90
graduation
rate
right.
There's
one
person
who
wanted
to
clap
I
see
you
had
surpassed
a
90
graduation
rate
in
that
Gap
that
I
talked
about
in
between
black
and
brown
students
and
their
counterparts
closed
and
today's
day
right
we're
over
92
percent
in
terms
of
graduation
rate
and
one
of
the
most
beautiful
things
in
the
planet.
F
You
all
understand
your
lived
experience
better
than
anybody
else.
Can
the
folks
in
this
room,
who
are
adults,
do
not
know
what
it
means
to
be
a
14
year
old
in
high
school
right
now
in
this
moment,
do
you
all
know
that
just
making
sure
right
like
sometimes
we
we
try
to
hold
or
maintain
this
idea
of
control
and
Authority
as
adults?
When,
actually
we
need
you,
we
need
your
ideas.
We
need
your
voices,
we
need
you
to
actually
be
the
people
who
are
leading
some
of
these
conversations
and
here's.
F
Why
please
take
this
home
in
your
pocket.
Is
that
the
best
change
in
the
world
happens
when
the
experts
in
the
field
find
themselves
paired
with
the
experts
in
the
need
and
our
job
as
experts
in
the
field
or
adults
is
to
be
in
relationship
with
the
experts
in
the
need,
until
it's
their
time
to
become
the
expert
in
the
field?
F
F
What
I'm
offering
to
you
all
is
that
the
experience
that
you
have
in
this
world
is
valuable
and
it's
the
thing
that
we
need
to
actually
create
change
in
the
communities
that
we
live
in
Fair
parser.
You
are
hearing
what
I'm
saying
right.
I
know
that
you're
a
studious
group
feel
free
to
talk
back
to
me.
It's
okay
right,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we'll
have
to
do
friends
is
that
will
have
to
be
people
if
we
want
to
find
ourselves
making
change
in
the
way
that
change
has
been
made.
F
If
we
want
to
find
ourselves
being
leader
in
that
space,
if
we
want
to
find
ourselves
in
public
policy
or
Civic
engagement
or
changing
our
communities
is
that
we
got
to
focus
on
us.
First
can
I
tell
you
all
some
embarrassing
stuff
about
me.
Is
it
fair?
Will
you
all
have
my
back?
If
I
do
I've
had
some
bad
habits
in
my
life?
Does
anybody
in
here
have
bad
habits
all
right?
Most
of
us
are
perfect.
That's!
Okay!
F
No
but
I've
had
some
bad
habits
in
my
life
and
when
I
was
growing
up,
especially
as
a
as
a
kid
right,
there's
some
bad
habits
that
have
followed
me.
Does
anybody
have
trouble
like
remembering
to
take
things
out
of
their
pockets
right
I'm?
That
person?
Does
anybody
lose
their
phone
or
their
wallet?
Often
yup?
That's
me
too.
Does
anybody
overbook
themselves
or
over
commit
to
things
you
want
to
be
everywhere
and
doing
all
the
things
at
once
you
find
yourself
in
fomo.
You
want
to
have
all
the
leadership
positions.
Yes,
no!
F
Maybe
so!
Oh
please
don't
be
fake
this
morning
right,
but
those
are
habits
that
I've
had
for
as
long
as
I
can
remember
and
here's
how
I
know
that
they've
existed
right
when
I
was
a
young
person,
I
had
what
was
called
a
starter
jacket,
all
the
adults
in
the
room
are
not
in
it
would
be
the
equivalent
of
like
an
Essentials
hoodie.
Now,
maybe
right,
okay
I
see
some
head
knots.
People
know
what
I'm
talking
about
and
I.
Remember.
I
was
a
Charlotte
Hornet
starter
jacket.
It
was
my
favorite
jacket.
F
My
brother
would
vouch
for
me
and
I
left
a
Sharpie
in
the
front
pocket
and
my
jacket
went
through
the
washing
machine.
You
all
feel
my
pain
right
right
and
it
ruined
it.
It
ruined
it
right
and
it
was
because
I
had
unchecked
habits
that
didn't
serve
me
right.
F
Can
I
tell
you
all
that
that
followed
me
into
my
adulthood
right
I
would
often
be
the
person
you
all
don't
burn
CDs
in
these
days.
I
feel
old
talking
today,
but
I
would
make
a
CD
and
be
my
favorite
mix
ever
right
and
then
I
would
lose
the
CD
right
now.
I'd
have
to
cry
because
then
you
all
don't
know
how
much
time
it
took.
F
You
have
apple
Music,
These
Days,
but
it
was
difficult
right
and
I'll
tell
you
that
that
followed
myself
into
the
future
as
well
right
and
had
a
habit
of
overbooking
want
to
be
everywhere
once
and
sometimes
I'd
have
to
cancel
plans
on
my
friends
and
things
like
that
right
and
that
followed
me
and
all
of
these
things
collided
about
two
months
ago.
Has
anybody
ever
been
to
a
concert
before?
F
Do
you
all
have
favorite
artists?
If
your
parents
paid
for
the
Taylor
Swift
concert,
they
love
you,
but
I
was
on
my
way
to
a
concert.
I
was
really
excited
about
it,
but
all
of
my
habits
followed
me
y'all.
Stick
with
me
someone's
wondering
what
this
has
to
do
with
leadership.
I
promise
we're
about
to
turn
the
corner
right
I'm
in
this
space
of
wanting
to
really
go
to
this
concert.
F
F
You
all
are
laughing
because
you
know
this
plan
is
not
going
to
pan
out
right,
so
I
get
there
I
stay
for
about
an
hour
at
the
birthday
party,
and
then
you
know,
like
Ubers,
go
up
in
price
as
the
time
changes,
so
I'm
really
ready
to
overpay
for
this
Uber
now
right
and
my
wife
and
I
had
to
buy
my
daughter
soccer
cleats,
because
she
had
a
game
coming
up
and
I
went
and
put
them
in
the
car.
F
F
F
It
right
my
wife
says
again:
baby
make
sure
those
keys
land
in
my
purse.
Before
you
go,
you
know
we
only
have
one
car
right.
The
reason
why
we
only
have
one
set
of
keys
to
the
car
is
because
the
other
were
in
a
pair
of
pants
that
I
washed
and
now
no
longer
work.
You
are
seeing
how
this
habit
doesn't
serve
me
right
and
so
I
leave
the
birthday
party
I
get
in
the
overpaid,
Uber
right,
I
I
we
get
in
line
right.
F
F
There's
some
folks
know
right
the
phone
wallet,
keys,
dance
and
I'm
padding
all
of
my
pockets
and
I'm.
Looking
my
friend
directly
in
the
face,
please
don't
break
eye
contact
with
me.
You
got
me
right
and
I
reach
into
my
pocket.
Oh
you're,
breaking
eye
contact,
I
need
you,
my
friend
I
look,
my
friend
directly
in
the
face
and
I
pull
out
the
keys
to
the
car
in
Tacoma.
F
I
only
talk
from
a
space
of
arrogance
if
I
know
it
from
a
space
of
exhaustion,
I'm
telling
you
these
are
mistakes
that
I've
made
in
my
journey.
That
I
hope
that
you
don't
have
to
make
or
learn
by
experience,
can
I
tell
you
all
about
some
bad
habits
that
leaders
have
had
that
I
have
had
as
we're
talking
about
trying
to
create
change.
F
Is
that
fair
and
the
reason?
Why
is
because
I
want
you
to
see
every
minute
of
every
concert
that
you
want
to
go
to,
but
I
also
want
you
to
be
really
effective.
Leaders
in
your
space
and
I
know
that
habits
are
the
things
that
control
that
the
first
habit,
that
I
see
a
lot
of
people
fall
into
is
that
we
get
into
a
game
of
competition
over
collaboration
right.
F
The
more
that
we
can
come
together,
the
more
that
we
can
work
as
a
unit,
the
more
that
we
can
work
arm
and
arm
and
hand
in
hand
the
better
outcomes
we
could
have.
Here's.
The
second
thing
right
is:
please
don't
find
yourself
and
I
said
this
earlier
thinking
that
this
is
a
game
of
intensity
and
not
a
game
of
consistency.
F
F
Ooh
I
came
to
talk
spicy
too
well,
today,
is
that
okay
can
I
still
be
your
friend
afterwards
right,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
black
box
energy
that
you
all
saw
on
Instagram
right
and
there
were
a
lot
of
people
who
were
interested
in
training
during
that
two
months,
and
there
were
a
lot
of
people
who
found
themselves
like
trying
to
lean
into
a
conversation
and
win
that
two
months
or
that
quarter
or
that
six
months
or
that
box
was
checked
right.
People
found
themselves
going
back
to
business
as
usual.
F
F
What
I'm
offering
to
you
is
that
we
have
to
be
people
who
are
consistent
and
find
ourselves
with
our
feet
planted
in
the
same
Community
for
a
long
time.
Sometimes,
if
we
want
to
see
change,
can
I
tell
you
how
this
has
happened
in
real
time,
so
I,
don't
sound
hypocritical,
just
know.
Maybe
so
right
we
talked
about
the
community.
I
came
from,
we
talked
about
people
investing
in
US
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
was
really
aware
of
when
I
was
a
young
person.
F
F
We're
good
right
so
I'm
30.!
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
He
said
that's
young
I,
dig
it
right.
Sometimes
I
don't
feel
that,
but
what
I'll
offer
you
my
knees,
sometimes
anyway,
what
I
offer
you
right
is
that
the
the
program
that
you
already
tell
you
about
just
now
happened
in
my
30th
year
of
age,
I
told
you
all.
We
started
this
conversation
when
I
was
13
or
14
years
old
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
consistently
asked
for
as
students
right
is
there
ways
in
which
we
can
change.
F
Are
there
ways
in
which
Educators
come
into
the
space?
Who
reflected
our
experience?
Are
there
right
and
I
wasn't
fortunate
enough
to
have
that
experience
and
one
of
the
things
we
were
consistently
met
with
you
all.
If
I
say
the
term
pity
in
here.
Do
you
all
know
what
I'm
talking
about
there's
some
times
where
we
have
to
be
Petty
in
our
conversation
with
adults?
Don't
let
me
get
you
in
trouble.
Right
always
be
respectful
right,
but
there
are
some
things
where
we
know
things
are
not
true.
F
Oh
let
me
the
adults
are
about
to
kick
me
out.
This
is
the
last
oh.
D
F
D
F
I
found
myself
in
this
space
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
were
consistently
told
as
young
people
is,
we
would
love,
we
would
love.
We
would
love
to
have
Educators
that
reflect
you,
but
there's
just
not
enough
qualified
candidates
any
time
that
you
are
confronted
with
a
barrier
or
half
truth
or
something
you
know
not
to
be
true.
The
question
you
should
always
ask
adults
the
question
when
you
all
are
adults,
the
question
you
should
always
ask
the
person
creating
the
barrier,
and
so
what
should
we
do?
Next?
F
You
said
there
weren't
enough
qualified
candidates.
Why
aren't
there
enough
right?
Might
it
be
because
some
cost
of
attendance
on
college
campuses
is
seventy
thousand
dollars
a
year?
Might
it
be
because
we
haven't
done
anything
outside
of
LinkedIn
to
try
to
hire
people?
Might
it
be
because
right
for
us
to
be
able
to
dive
into
those
Solutions?
So
what
should
we
do
then,
because
I'm
not
willing
to
accept
no
foreign
answer
again.
A
game
of
consistency.
F
I
have
to
be
here
for
the
long
term,
and
I
will
tell
you
all
that
we
practice
a
game
of
Interest
convergence
leaned
into
different
places
in
our
community
who
have
problems
that
needed
to
be
solved,
and
everybody
now
again
after
that
conversation
in
2020
and
2021
is
looking
for
a
way
for
their
Workforce
to
reflect
their
community
and
because
we
knew
this
conversation,
because
we
have
prepared
ourselves
because
we
could
look
into
the
future,
because
we
knew
what
we
were
asking
for.
F
Who
has
big
beautiful,
curly
hair,
just
like
my
daughter,
will
be
her
teacher
when
she
walks
into
Elementary
School
it
didn't
change.
My
schooling
experience
I'll,
never
go
back
to
high
I'm,
not
going
back
to
high
school
y'all.
I
won't
I
won't
be
the
person
who
experiences
that
shade,
but
because
of
the
wave
that
we
created,
the
next
generation
of
people
who
come
behind
us
will
benefit
from
it.
F
F
I
move
with
a
little
bit
more
intention.
You
will
get
what
I'm
saying
this
is
a
game
of
intensity
and
not
a
game
of
consistency.
Here's
the
last
thing
is:
please
don't
find
yourself
doing
this
work
without
imagination
can
I
talk,
can
I
talk
really
spicy
to
you
like?
Are
you
sure,
like
you
might
kick
me
out,
is
that
okay
right
I
think
as
young
people
in
particular-
and
this
is
me
projecting
on
me-
not
me
throwing
this
on
you
think
as
young
people
in
particular,
we
got
really
good
at
naming
problems.
F
How
many
of
y'all
can
name
a
problem
when
you
see
one
right,
how
many
of
you
all
know
how
to
do
a
root
cause
analysis
on
a
problem
right?
How
many
of
y'all
have
been
real
vocal
about
some
problems
that
you've
seen
before
right?
Oh
you,
you
did
that
with
with
with
some
Force
too
I,
see
you
right,
and
so
sometimes
right
like
we
get
really
good
at
knowing
problems.
F
I
was
in
a
particular
space
which
will
remain
unnamed.
I
was
really
good
at
naming
these
problems,
I'd
done
all
the
root
cause.
Analyzes
I'd
come
up
with
the
quantitative
and
qualitative
data.
To
prove
my
points,
this
was
like
Harvard
level,
slides
right,
like
I'm,
pulling
up
like
I'll,
be
able
to
name
it
all
the
way
through
and
I
had
the
responsibility
to
report
to
the
leadership.
The
leadership
at
this
time
was
a
board
right
and
I
pulled
up
to
the
board
like
and
here's
y'all's
problem.
F
Y'all
ever
had
this
energy
before
right
and
that's
not
how
I
presented
myself
right,
like
I
came
with
my
best
suit
and
my
beautiful
haircut
and
all
of
these
things
and
right
I
did
the
dance,
and
this
is
how
it
goes.
And
if
you
look
at
this-
and
we
overlap
this
with
this
data
and
if
we
disaggregate
and
I
used
all
of
my
big
words
and
everything
that
came
along
with
it
board
said:
yo
you're,
right
and
I
was
not
prepared
for
them
to
say
that
and
here's
the
next
question
that
they
asked
me
Paige.
F
When
we
talked
about
creating
change
in
the
world
started
with
d
deconstruct
dismantle
right
like
we
could
go
all
the
way
through
those
worlds,
like
all
of
these
different
things,
like
all
of
the
language
around
tearing
something
down
about
removing
problems
and
I'll,
never
forget,
there's
a
guy
named
Jarrell
who
lives
in
South
Seattle,
and
he
said
this
in
one
of
our
professional
developments.
F
He
said
the
tatuity
he
said:
I
don't
ever
get
to
tear
something
down
unless
I've
spent
just
as
much
time
imagining
what
I
would
replace
it
with
I
think
it's
valuable
for
us
young
people
I
know
sometimes
like
we
get
told
not
to
have
a
big
imagination.
How
many
of
y'all
have
been
told
that
your
dreams
are
too
big
right
then?
Maybe
your
ideas
are
not
your
own
that
someone
else
gave
those
to
you
right
or
something
along
those
lines,
but
young
people.
F
F
F
F
What
I
found
out
is
that
the
person
who
was
the
adult
speaker
in
that
space
was
going
to
be
a
man
by
the
name
of
Dr
Andrew
Young.
Do
we
know
who
Dr
Andrew
Young
is
in
this
room?
There's
a
couple
of
us:
do
we
know
who
Dr
Martin
Luther
King
is
all
right.
Oh
I
was
about
to
have
to
talk
to
a
history
teacher,
so
Dr
Martin,
Luther
King.
F
F
What
I'll
offer
you
is
that
Dr
Andrew
Young
was
a
hero
in
his
own
right
and
he
was
the
closest
that
I
would
get
to
Dr
Martin
Luther
King
in
my
life
right
I
went
to
go
deliver
this
speech
when
I
went
in
my
bacon
and
eggs
was
next
to
the
governor's
bacon
and
eggs.
It
was
next
to
Dr,
Andrew,
Young's,
bacon
and
eggs,
and.
A
F
F
F
He
asked
the
room
to
be
quiet.
You
ever
been
having
fun
adults
come
in
the
room
and
tell
you
to
be
quiet
right.
Have
you
ever
felt
like
you're
in
trouble
before
you
all
know
what
I'm
talking
about
so
he's
like
and
I'm,
like
oh
snap,
like
did
I,
say
something
wrong.
Like
did.
I
did
I
name
one
of
the
dates
incorrectly
like
what
happened
and
he
goes
up
on
stage
and
y'all.
I
would
never
forget
this
day.
F
He
looks
me
directly
in
my
face.
My
friend
can
I
ask
you
what
your
name
is?
Yes,
you
Rishi
Rishi
Rishi,
that's
an
awesome
name!
I!
Need
you
to
be
me
for
a
second.
You
need
a
second
to
get
into
character.
You
got
it
all
right,
we're
both
handsome.
So
it
works
out,
you
ready,
so
he
looks
me
directly
at
my
face
y'all
and
he
says
young
man
I've
seen
your
spirit
before
he
said
I've
seen
the
look
in
your
eyes
and
the
eyes
of
revolutionaries
who
I've
walked
with.
E
F
Young
man
I
need
you
to
be
careful.
What
it
is
that
you
wish
for,
because
I
know
that
you're
powerful
enough
to
get
it,
and
you
know
I'm
sitting
in
the
room
like
there's
bumps
on
the
back
of
my
neck.
You
all
know
when
you
get
goosies
or
chicken
skin.
You
all
know
what
I'm
talking
about
and
I'm
sitting
in
the
front
like.
Oh,
my
goodness
right,
that's
the
second
best
thing
that
happens
that
day
y'all
watch
this
can
I.
Ask
your
name:
Farhan,
Farhan
I!
Need
you
to
be
the
governor
for
a
second.
F
Can
you
do
that
right?
Our
food
was
next
to
each
other
and
he
looks
the
governor
in
the
face
y'all
after
he
finished
speaking
to
me,
and
he
says
sir
I
need
you
to
get
your
Affairs
in
order.
Can
I
say
I'll
just
say
this.
He
said,
sir
I
need
you
to
get
your
Affairs
in
order,
because
when
this
young
man
comes
of
age,
your
job
might
be
in
jeopardy.
F
Yeah
and
I'm
I'm
sitting
in
this
space
right,
like
I'm
22.
I,
got
some
time
before
I'm
I'm
legal
Governor
age.
You
know
what
I
mean,
but
here
goes
a
hero.
Someone
who
I
looked
up
to
someone
whose
work
is
is
directly
responsible
for
the
freedoms
I
was
experiencing
in
that
room.
That
day,
who
saw
me
as
a
leader
right
and
it
floored
me,
and
he
goes
on
to
give
his
speech
afterward,
and
this
is
what
he
says.
It's
valuable
advice
that
I
hope
that
I
get
to
leave
you
all
with.
F
F
F
F
F
There
were
people
in
the
same
way
that
I
talked
about
those
folks
looking
down
on
us,
but
us,
knowing
who
we
were
in
the
same
way
that
some
people
might
tell
you
that
you're
too
young.
But
you
know
exactly
who
it
is
that
you
are
right.
There
were
people
who
didn't
see
them
as
human
and
they
saw
themselves
as
neighbor.
F
There
were
people
who
didn't
think
that
they
should
have
the
right
to
vote
and
they
saw
themselves
as
politically
involved
right
and
they
knew
that
their
work
was
to
impact
the
three
feet
around
them
and
because
of
the
work
he
was
doing
because
of
the
work
that
he
did.
I
got
the
opportunity
to
be
present
where
I
was
that
day.
F
I
want
you
all
to
know
that
the
people
who
came
before
you
did
what
they
could
for
you
to
be
present
in
this
space.
Now,
how
many
of
you
all
know,
some
of
the
things
in
this
world
are
messed
up,
can
I
ask
adults
to
close
their
eyes
in
the
room?
How
many
of
y'all
don't
know
that
adults
who
came
before
you
met
some
of
this
stuff
up
right
so
I
want
you
all
to
know
that,
even
though
it
might
none
of
this
around
might
be
your
fault.
F
We
all
have
a
collective
responsibility
to
do
something
about
it
and
the
best
way
we
can
do
so
is
by
consistently
impacting
the
three
feet
around
us
being
in
collaboration
with
other
people
and
knowing
right
that
this
is
a
game
of
consistency
that
we
will
have
to
take
on,
maybe
for
the
remainder
of
Our
Lives,
so
I
appreciate
each
and
every
one
of
you,
you
all
are
equidistant
in
this
room
and
age.
Many
of
you
than
you
are
from
my
child
and
so
I.
Thank
you
for
the
work
that
you'll
do
in
this
world
I.
F
Please
don't
miss
this
opportunity
and
I'll
tell
you
in
the
same
way
that
I've
told
every
audience
I've
been
in
front
of
because
I
love,
you
I,
love,
you
I,
love!
You
I
love!
You
I
love!
You
I
love!
You
I
love
you
and
there's
absolutely
nothing
that
you
can
do
about
it.
I
appreciate
you
all.
Thank
you
for
your
time.

B
And
just
a
really
quick
reminder
that
the
lost
and
found
table
I
know
really
interrupting,
but
the
lost
and
found
table
is
at
the
registration
table
at
the
front.
So
if
you
lose
something
it'll
probably
end
up
there
and
it's
time
to
go
to
your
Workshop
so
take
the
same
inspiration
I
felt
inspired
during
Christian
speech.
To
do
your
thing
see
you

at
concurs
for
lunch.
Have
a
great
conference
hey!
