listen, a zionist, are making serious efforts in order to empty and disrupt to turn the windows. we meet with bleeding years maintenance. stormy, stung amazon. i think i have them. yeah. okay, welcome to the bonus edition on the screen where i bring you some of the great conversations from our archives today. yes, have turned their extraordinary personal stories into life. lessons for i saw coming up the force, the katie became an award winning poet. the mom who walked away from her ph. d to become a publisher, south asian children's literature and the writer his encounters with mediocre white men in spy. it has late his book. let's start with disability rights attorney hobbin gerber. the 1st death flying graduate of harvard law school, hobbin po,

to long her hearing translated to the stream, the translator type what was happening in the studio into a keyboard. that information was sent wirelessly to hobbins braille computer. so she could read it. i'm response, the interview about her memoir was seamless. so my parents love and adore me. they also are a little protective, like many parents, and growing up, we struggled with the challenge of my parents wanting to keep me safe and protected . and me wanting to experience as much as the world. 6 as possible, i'm deaf blind, i have limited vision and hearing, and there are a lot of negative stereotypes about what people with disabilities can and can't do . and that's the heart at the arguments i've had with my parents growing up. there was a situation where i wanted to help build a school in molly,

west africa and my parents said, no, it's not safe. and i told them you are from africa. my data grew up in ethiopia. my mom grew up in eritrea. how can they tell me it's not safe? it was because they were feeling protective as parents. it hadn't nothing to do with africa. even if i was building a school in se montana, i'm sure they would have told me no, it's not save. so i tried, this is a story of advocacy. so my advocated and i told them, i know my abilities. i know what i can and can't do. and i can build a school. and they still said no. i was really frustrated. i'm sure lots of kids can relate to this of wanting to do something and your parents saying no. so i asked myself, how can i convince them they're not believing me,

even though i feel like an expert when it comes to my abilities. so i asked myself, who else can help convince them that i can do this? so we brought in the program manager. so take students to developing countries to help build schools. and she sat down at lunch with me and my parents, and they asked her how can hop and build a school, she can't see. how would that work? and the manager told them, i don't know, but we'll try. we'll find a way. it's ok if you don't know how to do something as long as you try to seek solutions, as long as they try to figure it out and make it work. and we did. i went to molly. i helped build a school and i literally 1000000 and building a school. we were shoveling making bricks, to gain the latrine,

so that kids in this village, and molly, good could i get an education? the height of the program though, was about teaching high school students. that we can have an impact in the world. even if you have a disability, you still can have an impact in the world. when i came back home, my parents were more convinced, but only slightly. even now, even after graduating from law school, there is still no us and still protector. tell a story, you use it as an illustration. you give some stats and you say, do better. this is how we can do better. i am showing a picture with our audience of you in juno in alaska, add iglesia. and that was a time when you were hoping to get us some a job. he was super qualified, really smart student, and you couldn't get a job. and you share the statistic of about 70 percent of blind people never work.

so this idea of being a person with disabilities and not being able to work how you working to change that that's a good question. so when i was in college, i really wanted a summer job, just like lots of other college students. and one of my friends told me, i know a place where there are lots of summer jobs, alaska. and he was arrayed, there's a large to tourism industry in juneau, alaska, and lots of summer jobs because of the tourism industry. employers would see my resume and get excited and invite me to interviewers. i was valedictorian in high school, really good grades and paul edge. lots of volunteer experiences and still employers didn't want to hire me able ism assumptions that i was incompetent. i would not be

able to do the job. i applied to all kinds of jobs, dishwashing, shelving gift shops, folding laundry in hotel. these are tactile activities. they don't require a site, but they still assumed i couldn't do it and they wouldn't hire me. that taught me that introduced me into employment discrimination. and in me and me realised working hardest, not enough. we also need employers to get rid of abel ism stump, assuming that people with disabilities are incompetent. eventually that summer, i found a one employer who was inclusive. she hired me to be a front desk clerk at a small gym in juneau, alaska. so my responsibility is included managing the cash register, the machines and the jam cleaning the changing rooms. she didn't care whether used

site or non visual technique, as long as i got the job done. lots of people with disabilities have alternative techniques and alternative techniques are equal in value to mean stream techniques . employers need to know that one day a woman came to the front desk of the gym and she said a treadmill isn't working. i followed her to the treadmills, and i pressed the on button. nothing happened. i tried the other buttons on the machine. nothing happened. so i felt the machine from top to bottom. and on the bottom, i felt a switch. i flicked the switch and the machine were to light. the lady size only goodness i didn't see lads which i told her i didn't see it either with the very funny and determined disability rights advocate. halden gob! there are some string guess who a simply unforgettable. like the poet and play,

right. lemme say. lemme grew up in the north of england in foster care and institutions. his story is traumatic and lem doesn't hope back. he unleashed the warners in his memoir. my name is why and right here on the street for the 1st sort of the 1st 16 years of my life, i thought my name was norman and i had i left the car system at 18 years of age with no family and no witnesses. i was a living and had been forced to live as a lie. i had my mother and family stolen from me. i was imprisoned as a child. i was institutionalized. i was just dragged through a foster home of people who hated me as a baby, a learn to hate me. and then i was left alone 18 years to survive the rest of my life with no family. so i spent 30 years trying to get to the

documents, which were witness to the things that had happened me to me because otherwise i would sound like some crazy guy banging on about some strange thing that happened in his childhood. no, i was imprisoned. i had my mother stolen from me and my family and even my name. i didn't even know my name till i was 16 and a half. so getting these files and seeing, seeing what they did to me over 18 years, showed me the evidence that i needed to tank the entire government in england to court so that they could pay for what they had done to me. and i also spent my adult life searching for the family that had been stolen from me. that's one story. but this book, firstly, i took the government to court when i found, when i got all of the files in 2015,

i had the evidence of what they done to me. and then i could write the book and, and remember my life has been public record. hundreds of people writing comments about me decide making decisions about me imprisoning me even as a child. so, so to me, the memoir is not a expose a of myself. it is showing you what is already public record. i have a right to my past. i have a right to my childhood, and i have a right to my future and my presence as well. and that's really what my book is about. realized i am a black man. i said to myself, i am a black man. i am not colorblind. i am a black man, i am not sure he white. i am not a nigger, a coon, a wog. i am a black man. i changed,

seemingly overnight from the cheeky chappie. the happy go lucky joker into a threat and it hurt me. how could identifying who i am be a threat to people? i couldn't unsee the shopkeeper flush shred from the neck or woods at the sight of me. or the store detectives following me in the shops at the bull stops. i couldn't on see the woman clutching her handbag as i stood waiting for the bus. i couldn't on see that no one would sit next to me on the bulls. i couldn't on see men glaring at me. i couldn't on see people in cows craning their necks to stare at me. i couldn't on see the people from the tops of the buzz is pointing at me and laughing at me. i couldn't on see them hacking up flem and spitting me from the bows. i couldn't on see the police watching me or the police cow slowing down deliberately as they passed. i couldn't on see the cars accelerating as i crossed the road

slammed. thanks. so i found myself powerful men, powerful reading, your work is poetic and beautiful, even as you're telling harrowing tales and stories about what happened to you. i want to share what your word means to some people. this is tony mason on twitter, who says just finished, my name is why it is superbly written, harrowing thought provoking and shocking read how wonderful to see the kid that went through all of this as he is today. but put that to one side for a moment because earlier you mentioned that you're not alone in this in a way you mentioned some documentaries to talk about the system of adoption. and one of them was featured on al jazeera as witness. it's called a girl in return. we have a good momentum. we have a video coming from the director who's a friend of yours, katrina pierre. and here's what she told to stream. i think the biggest surprise to me doing my work with these to fill my done about adoption is with the 1st one.

mercy, mercy was definitely when i found out that 90 percent approximately 90 percent of all the options in the world, they are not really often. they do have a living mother and father, but they are not able to take care of them. and would my work on girl in return? i was very, very shocked to see how much your culture and your mother tongue, how important that is for you when you were formed as a person that i mean one could say that it kind of runs in your blood and your need if you exclude that from a person, you create a big trauma from this person. and i would like to hear them talk about how he experience that whole cultural thing or the lack of it in his upbringing. so them what your thoughts on that. but keep in mind, as we're doing the show where we're going out, live on youtube,

and there are so many people in the comment sank. he's ethiopian, he is habersham. i now, ham. so talk to mike about who i been to t because people recognize you whether you as a young child or not. no, i am now known to my people, okay. like i am known to my people in ethiopia and i am, i'm blessed by being part of a community of ethiopians in ethiopia. and throughout the world. you know, my father was a pilot for ethiopian airlines. my mom works for the u. and in new york i've sisters and brothers all over the world, but but, but the true family is of people who stop me in the street in addis ababa in new york in washington dc, especially washington dc. in nairobi all all over the world who are ethiopians, who can look at me and say it's you, lemon. they say lemon. my name in am harric lemon. it means the question why. and it reminds me most of all this that and it's,

this is the most important thing about my entire life and finding my family and of ethiopia in general. and put of me, it's that i am not defined by my scars books, by the incredible ability to heal. so when i meet ethiopians i, i, i am healing. and so it's a joyous occasion. my story may seem sad to you, but i always followed the lights. i always followed what i believe to be the truth even when isolated and having nobody to support me. a great son of la lemon says say, joe, mar lou, i never planned on becoming a writer until she says she was forced into it. some issues was just too important for her to ignore, like racism. i missed such any. last january,

we spoke about latest work mediocre, the dangerous legacy of white male america. integration for this modern lifetime of frustration. but you are moment and the moment was trying to be in the ready to treat with other women. and this was at times new lack to focus on kraft treat, you know, that we've developed because women, so we are, we get a chance to focus on their work and all we could really talk about and what we needed to talk about were these men, these white men that were impacting our last year so heavily and it, as people kept saying why the wife was happening, what is the homeless, you know, i kept seeing the story unfold in front of the path that led to where we were in that particular time. and where we are today, and i wanted other people to see it so that we could start looking at the power and some of the as a whole instead of treating each individual bab after like an individual. and so

part of the systemic problem. and so i want to really show that story to people, so they can on youtube again, if you really inspiring a lot of conversations, i know i know you're used to this. this is fly ribbon derrick. how long is it going to take before things ever change as it seems? america has always had this issue. what is the main things that will lead to change your office question all the time? really, i think it's really important to recognize that part of why we haven't been able to make these a couple of things happen. one is that we have, you know, almost exclusively framed discussions on race with around personal feelings and personal amas who are a racist, if you walk around actively hating people of color, right? you are sex and if you walk around actively hating women and then if not, you are a good person part of the solution. but what we're actually talking about our system, we're talking about systems built to advantage some populations over other systems

built to explain the labor of members of our population and to give people a sense of comfort with that exploitation oppression. and we are told to look at, you know, personal relationships only because people make money off of the system and the power from the one with looking at it. so that when we do in systems right, when we start to make a political change, scott mc change, what we see is immediate violence. backlash like we saw this last week, right? because people are so afraid, it's some changes we have to recognize it's dying that we have it then addressing and making sort of change in our systems. because we've been told time and time again, it's not possible. and that's where the problem live. or we have been punished viciously for any progress we make in that area. and so it is model that we look at that and recognize that this is where i work live and we have to push through. we have never ending opportunities. the systems were built by people, they are not immovable,

but we are told that they are and we are led to believe that they are so that we don't do the work. but we are powerful if we come together and actually start engaging systems to be pushed for change we can created. and that if we can create it, there wouldn't be such a violent backlash towards our comforts because people see that change coming. and they are afraid of it. when you work on a book like this, there is a toll when you talk about racism, white supremacy and hate, and people who don't like you talking about that, make it very, very clear. can you share not part of your what do you mind? yeah. you know, i think that anyone who, especially if you are a person of color, honestly if you are a black woman, we, when you threaten the system, the system comes back for you and people who are investing system come for you. and absolutely my experience, while it might seem extreme, if you're not doing this work, is not unfamiliar to many black people who have been fighting for liberation and

for change in this country. and so, you know, we've been threatened, we've had, you know, officers brought to our home when we were swatted, we have had to move from our home due to regular harassment and threats in our home . they says a regular occurrence and it's, i'm not alone. and if you look at history and even if you will get you'll see time and time again, generation after generation, the way in which people are made to pay chris speaking around these systems. but i think it's also important to note that this comes for people everyday people who aren't writing about what you see everyday people of color who do something, anything that inconveniences the power structure that inconveniences whiteness in this country, you are often madness of violence, backlash and we see this in plenty of our new stories where, you know, black people can't have a barbecue or you know, sell lemonade without someone calling the police on them. right?

these violent leper cautions are waiting for all of us. no matter what we do. if we ever challenge the system or even in the best selling new york times, or jerome or lou finally, the importance of representation in books when stream gas sol judge, oh, she was stopping her family. she couldn't find stories that she liked. the also represented her culture to read to her little girl. so what if you do about it? soldier set up a publishing house. so the journey to creating virus baby really started on my own journey to motherhood. i was pregnant with my daughter and i was having the library, the baby shower as you do in the age of interest. and i really wanted to put books on our bookshelf that reflected my own culture, my history, my heritage. and what i found out there was really problematic, you know, there were books out there, but some of them were developmentally inappropriate. some of them were culturally

an accurate or worse culturally insensitive. and i couldn't believe that in this day and age. my daughter wasn't going to see herself on the cover of the book, so it took leaving my ph. d program and a $1000.00 a start up capital. but that's how barth babies was launched. we have a tweet here that is perfect for you because this is, i haven't asked you says there aren't enough platform that allow people of color to write stories in their own way. publishing houses expect writers to write in a manner that they want. not that the writers want, he who has the money has the power to dictate what he wants, and i'll add and she as well. but talk to us about what this tweet makes you feel. and this was some of the thinking behind why you started it. yeah, i think i truly wanted to create a platform where south asian, the south asian experience could be seen and heard and created. and that's why it ended up being a publishing house. you know, i tried writing a book and you know, maybe one day there will be a book that i write. but for some reason it wasn't what was going to happen. and so

instead i decided to launch with publishing house because i really just how important it was to give a platform to others and to give a platform to this entire community. so to you saying that you couldn't find the right books for the family that you were starting. i'm just scooting through some of the books in your publishing house. we have finding all coming out next may. bad meaning is powerful. always angelie sala in the sky. have an all feel it series as well. can you tell us one story that that shows what to be culturally sensitive to be culturally aware actually means oh that's, it's a really, really great question. and i think each one of our books does a really phenomenal job of sharing that south asian experience. because we recognize that the south asian experienced isn't unified. it's multi dimensional. you know, you have south asians who are muslim world, who are christian,

who are seek and we want to share all of that. i think there are a lot of books in our platform that do that really, really well. let's celebrate the volley is one of our sort of perennial favorites that really shares how bewell use a multi phase holiday. and that's a story that's not often too old in mainstream media. also, i think super supp. yes, themes, the day is a really phenomenal story because like right bear on the cover, you have this multicultural family. you know, you have a dad wearing his turban, you have his daughter who's proud. we speak with her long, long hair on the cover, and it's really just an opportunity for those of us who have so many different backgrounds who have all those different intersections to see ourselves. and that's a show for to day. thanks to with the story of zimbabwe in her what history is always told from the perspective

of the great man, whether it's david livingston, all robot mcgarvey. my responsibility is to tell this low wind story in a way that it hasn't truly been told before. the ordinary everyday life was in well with the people. i'm writing about patina, kappa, out of darkness. my zimbabwe on al jazeera, we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter what lucy al jazeera will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you, al jazeera there was a time when the oct vanguard's swans were enough to sustain life in the northern california desert all year round. 2 the that's changing. we form 3 men and different paths on the line go down as if it drowned wild animals and man made
