russia is accusing the box up nice and rich. if you have candy precaution of launching an all new to me, often he vowed revenge against military leaders. accusing them of carrying out strikes, targeting his fights as to goshen says his forces have shot down the russian military helicopter. hello god. then you will get the military leadership of the country, bears must be stopped. they neglect lots of soldiers, they forgot to work justice and we will return it. therefore, those who destroyed our guys today, those who destroyed tens many tens of thousands of lives, refreshing soldiers. so the punish russia stepped up security on the capital of moscow and the governor of the last of region, the ukraine border as those people to remain indoors, ministry vehicles, quote, and off several streets in the southern city. the goshen says, but his forces of entered, lost off without facing any resistance without claim comp be independently verified . your point. share your thoughts as you are the bottom of the cross state lines

i'll just say we're coming up right off to the stream, which is next between 2000 to 2008 colombian soldiers executed. thousands of civilians, framing them as guerrilla fighters to make it seem like the ami was winning the conflict once incentivized to the ministry. come on there now confesses in exchange for amnesty and hope for gift fault lines. the confession on adjust the higher semi ok welcome to the stream. it is the end of the winter season in the northern hemisphere, but that plenty of people thinking about how to make the slaves more inclusive when to sports make into sports and the animal for people of color. that is our

conversation today on youtube. wow. you're already, you're already tiffany: and let me show you what you're talking about right now. this is kathy. hi that kathy kathy george says, if you don't have the physical abilities, no, the talent to compete in any sports whatsoever, then you don't belong in this sport. move along. this is cool competition. nicely stuff out there. when youtube ne valentine has a very different perspective. at least the executive vice president of the national golf ahead of ski is. and this is what he told us a little bit when it comes to snow sports, one of the challenges that people of color in counter is finding genuine ease of individuals. look like us when we want to go skiing. all righty, fortunately, there are organizations out there like in b as much. it's been around a long time that have the express mission of exposing people. what colors are winter stores to exposing people of color to winter sports. that is exactly what i

x or panel or a valid today, and that takes is found and c o of age outdoors. that is an organization welcome to raise the visibility of black indigenous women of color in winter sports. she joins us from seattle. adrienne syiaa, isaac is director of marketing and communications. i'm us focus of national school hours association, and she joins us from summit county, colorado for them. the loss of kayla is a story teller of action, sports culture and is also a boardman best of bats and snowboards whose angle sondra is highlight panel. so good to have you. and he's going to be easy because how horace stories of things of happened to you as people of color on the slips easy. it would be more challenging though to start with the positive, the best experience she was hacked and then on the sipes as a woman of color in your glory doing a thing. okay, so um there's many best experiences on this clubs,

but since i've started doors, one of the most liberating and powerful experiences is bringing other women of color as this product says trans saint clair and watching them flourish and build their own communities and walk through the stage of self actualization. so yeah i, i would say that that is the most rewarding and best experience that i've had a savannah for me and it still wouldn't change my life. i moved from new york city with my family to an area of southern california that happened to revolve around skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding, just up the road. and once i tried it, it literally changed my, my life, the joy, the freedom of being able to be your entire being and challenging gravity and expressing yourself through sliding down

a mountain. but i never got to see it in reflection. and so from, for, for many, many years i felt like and only, and i didn't feel welcome on the mountains, but the joy that i was getting in the mountains was something that didn't allow people to, to take this last full welcome on the mountains, feel like what is that gives us an excel, it looks, it looks like being asked in the lift line, what are you doing here or no, i didn't, i didn't know that you people do this. that's so cool. so which you reply i what do you mean by, by you people literally. yes, yeah, this is this sort of people just constantly being shocked at your presence and being in a space that subliminally they think is just for them. so they're always like, oh you, you, you do this to maybe they can say is, are the light snow is for whitefield for it and that,

right? right. so i, i definitely align with tell them i was saying is like when you walk, when you put on this snow, your presence is being examined and scrutinized. they're looking at you like wow, what are you doing here? um, i know, personally i've experienced my progressions on a daily basis. for example, you know, i'm a ski instructor for like 5 years. but when i'm outta uniform, um you know, the biases and the on conscious biases. they start coming out, for example, like, you know, going to chair lift, you know, it's at full speed, but as soon as i hit the line, the chair lift automatically slows down. here's the constructor. me? yes. so now it's going down from the queen of the slopes. know that one day and 2. well, all right? yeah. and then home, just like, you know, being a suitor of the community, being a community member of the mountain, this key area and

a representative at times i'm on the tour left and i'll be sitting next. so guest, and they'll tell me i'm out of my element, but they have no clue that i work on the mountain. so and i just have to share another story. and i remember like my 1st day on the slopes, i would just like so excited. but i would just like going through a lot of things and dealing with a lot of micro aggressions. and i was, you know, it didn't, it didn't affect, you know, my overall experience because i was in a place that, you know, i never thought i would imagine being. anyway, here i am. and those cache re like an allied just giving some coffee. and all of a sudden i heard some spears say hey look, there's a unit car. and i started like looking around and i was like, oh there's, there's a unicorn i visit and then you're going out of my head. yeah. well,

i didn't know they were talking about me. i was a little bit, you know, kind of, you know, a little slow, but i always like looking around the room and then i finally realized that, you know, you're in a car and it was being used typed in a find, my blackness. so that's the 1st time i was exposed to like verbal, my progressions on the hill or cobar racism. so yeah, and here's the thing. going up to the top of a mountain at 6789000 feet. and in negotiating gravity in the quest of joy is already a very foreign thing for people of color or people who are been marginalized for the spaces. so being convinced that even that thing is going to be fun, is, is work for. i have to be convinced that this is, these are spaces we're not to be able to play in, but then the walk from the parking lot to getting to the chair, lift, being more intimidating, then even that makes it so that if you have that experience as you just described

when you just get into a town, why do i want to go up there and risk my life? you, you incidentally are like, you know what they're right, this isn't for me. and i will be taking myself back down to elevation. how does this change? i, i just, i want to show our audience something which is a look at how many people of color hit the us slopes of a number of different results from 2021 to 20, to 22. and so if we're breaking it down into f, mrs to 80 percent of people who slopes in the number of results were white and then down here, 5 percent, asian, pacific island, latino or spanish, or latino, spanish origin, 1.5 percent back at 1.6. percent, another race and point 6 percent in teaching is native american. it's really a disappointing to see how few people of color. so i changed my field to the disappointment, to, to see that to people of color,

enjoying something that's so beautiful and fun to do was as a sport, or just as a leisure activity. what, what do we do about that? you know, 1st i wanna just take my hand fellow pallets for sharing their stories. i wish i could say it was a 1st time i've heard anecdotes like that, but it's unfortunately not when we look at the racial and the city data of our seniors and riders that hasn't really changed over the past 10 years. and it's showing us at the national level, even though there are regional differences, that our culture is not welcoming that we have to do more concerted effort to make our staff and our leadership look more like what the us looks like. and, you know, especially as we look at the younger generations coming out and most of 1st generation in the us, history is a, is getting older now. and that is a huge opportunity for us. no sports. but we have to do better on the inclusion and

the culture side. and that, that starts with all of us in positions of leadership at the ski areas. i wasn't bringing out, excuse me. so i'm just gonna bring in, 1st of all the found and see of when to for kids. because what he talks about is creating a new culture culture where everybody can go and scale snape or curious who is what he told us earlier. and listen, i would just build off the back of it immediately to develop a culture, you have to change behaviors and know strange behaviors should be based on values. and those values are welcoming. that's by creating a safe space. empathy, which is acknowledging the uniqueness of everyone and their perspective embracing and celebrating authentic individual ality. and of course making sure that everyone's feel that they have

a sense of belonging to yes and, and here's the same. we can do all those things at, at the, at the base level to make people feel welcome to what the ski industry already does so brilliantly, in the way that they make billions of dollars is they target audiences and communities and people who live thousands of miles away from a mountain and they relentlessly bombard them with images and expressions of if you come here to this place and have this this feeling and do this thing, this will become an active part of your lifestyle. and they analyze and really do we try and find those people and they speak to them really, really targeted marketing. and they begin at a, an exchange, a relationship with folks who make it their destination. and that's something that the sky industry is so so brilliant that, and i'm like, well, why don't you figuring out how to talk specifically to us and market to us because

the biggest conversation that people like to have is like, oh well, you know that people don't have money? yes, there are barriers financially, but amongst black and brown people, we also have an immense amount of spending in capital. and we like to have fun. but the sky industry does 0 to 2 feet. they're not figuring out their end of the problem to say, how do we speak to directly these people and get them to come here and see to what the point that was made earlier that we are welcoming. and we want to just, uh, i want to see if i can also that what i, i do. yeah. because you know what the majority of our marketers are white. and that is something that needs to change in our industry. and it's not just, you know, finding folks from different communities, it's getting different perspectives, hiring different marketing firms, you know, getting people who, who understand the communities we're trying to reach out to and know how to talk

and that, that's where i think. and i say has the most power is to start with the stuff i think and encourage the ski areas to kind of look outside of that. that very narrow view point and find um, different places to post jobs. bring in, you know, people who don't look like you, it's very easy to have that unconscious bias when you're hiring. so how can we train that again, like our age, our people are gm's to think differently, and also recognize their own conscious bias so that they can move forward and not authentic. why. and now i want you to talk about the, what you're doing. voluntary, i guess, but let me just go via actually call me harrison because he talks about who is the gate to whoever needs is. here you are. one of the need is his entity. over the past 10 years, i see more black people and people of color taking an interest in the winter sports . but the main industries that surround winter sports will only value diversity,

equity inclusion, as long as it's convenient. and my fear is that without plaque decision makers leading these industries sitting at the table, holding people accountable when it becomes inconvenient, i'm not sure it will continue to be a priority in a word and that have a level with or yeah, absolutely. i agree exactly what he, what he's saying. i think we all need to realize that the success of the scanner history is built on the exclusion and the impression of others. we also need to recognize that, you know, when we have these white decision makers or anybody who is trying to. busy promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and sense of belonging that it takes a self awareness. we have to be a student of ourselves and a scholar of society and really digging deep until why we're here today in order to understand historically excluded communities. and i believe that, you know,

when ever we're trying to promote some type for program medic effort. we're, we're in that ition stage of development. we need to sit down. we need to pause, right and ask, who is in the room, who is in a room? do we have, you know, a black person? does there need to be a couple of black people? does there need to be people with disabilities in it? or the women in the room, you know, are there indigenous people in a room and through that we're able to make really profound and powerful escalating change with an industry. but without that, you know, we're just kinda, it's tech spinning our wheels. i believe that it all begins with like self awareness and they were able to move forward on. you choose that. i want to show this and this is lauren x that i grew up skiing and black guy was scared to this day. i salute you like diamonds

a say scary. it's crazy that there was a little black people no matter what. mounting ice gave my dad skate, and he was born in 55, and he started skiing as a team. once you start as a kid, whatever, whatever to you, all, whatever you all aware of it before and these little athletics um spectrum is kind of hard not to keep going. and why is it taking us so long for this to kind of a resume around the world in many different places where you can ski it and it's pretty much the same around the world. hm. so that meant to help us out here. yeah, well the point was made earlier. how did we get here? yeah, these are spaces that were made exclusively as safe spaces for white people in the midst of integration. literally the last bastion of safety for, for, for white people to feel like we don't have to worry about them, was the outdoors we saw in adventuring and hiking we, we saw it in the ocean and we saw it in the mountains where these spaces were

created. so unless we like own how we got here, that necessarily isn't going to change. i think the work that is being done by people of color to create access and to build reflection. you know, when we get to see ourselves in reflection, that is contagious, but we can only do so much because we didn't create the problems. i have a mentoring organization that i started called stoked 18 you years ago. we use the principles associated with skiing, surfing skating and snowboarding and getting, getting kids that who are at risk to experience falling down and getting back up and how to embrace that and who they choose to be. as a person, we watch kids lives, change all the time from, from, from these principles that make them feel brave to step out of, you know, maybe the 4 blocks that they've been told that they're only allowed to inhabit. so it's, i think it's, it's again in that, in that marketing and it's the storytelling of what it is. it's just being leisure . there's just far, much more here that the experience in the outdoors, skiing,

snowboarding, etc. we're able to build better human beings and literally a better world. and until we start marketing and story telling with that experience in that way and then the again, the industry taking responsibility for creating more access, you know, outside of just the resort model. how can we put co ropes in, in, in small hills where people and kids can go to learn for $1520.00 as opposed to trying to spend $225.00 for a live ticket. which like, that's crazy. um, so one day you just put off so many if it was, well i could try this. i mean, you said if ticket and $250.00 and like okay, no, no for throwing out a support just to see if you like it just for that it is. but there, there was agents that are doing the work. you know, there's a hill in minnesota where they've done the work to create work with the state to install a tow rope at a public public part that have the public park that happens to be adjacent to

a white and black neighborhood. and black people are able to come and become skiers, and snowboard is literally for $15.00 a day now and then building that relationship being and, and then figuring out ok, maybe i want to move to the mountains, but they want to get a job. and then have that lifestyle, you have big snow in new york, which is an indoor deals where we have as a ski and snowboard culture for kids who, who, who grew up growing would be able to ski indoors again, accessible. and then by 3 or 4 years or like okay, i want to move to a mountain. i think the future of what this looks like is creating more accessibility and the resorts if they're playing the long game, they should be investing in the accessible ways. and the affordable ways to create accessibility so that when people get capital as they get older, they're like, okay, this is where i want to go. the agent, i'm really interested in this. oh, excuse me. you go slash on that also i'll follow up questions, go ahead. go ahead. yeah, i am, i'm so, so she mentioned vix now because honestly their business model is built for assess

ability, especially in a sport with so much overhead. and so much so many terms to learn. and so many things that you need before you even buy that $200.00 lift ticket. and i think really just making the process easier and bundling it together and giving people kind of like this low risk. first experience. that is, that is tremendous. and also they have be the most diverse staff of any sky facility in the us. it is, it is really wonderful to see people thinking outside the box of what skiing and snowboarding looks like. and i want to talk about this very briefly. the companies who are doing the work, who's doing what controls maybe just doing a little bit of joyfully to watching. if i can put it that way. all right, this is all right. so that, by the way, this is, this is last it, as i say, close out. some of the work that's being done to me is this is what he told us that

you over the last couple of years, there has been a big movement around creating more inclusion. i have seen a lot of ups and downs from companies. a lot of companies are doing really well, either in their hiring practices or under bastard teams or their marketing and media. and there's also a lot of other companies that are dropping the ball. and it's really easy to see the vast difference between the companies that are doing great work and also the ones that are not. all right, i got some, i got to what was just talking about or who's doing the work. um, so i'm gonna choose one. first of all, mazda is an incredible ambassador, an ally of, of, of, of, of, of, all marginalized groups. he also has one leg, and i have gone in hives and skinned up a $12000.00 foot mountain with him. and he has beaten me by 20 minutes. a mile boxes uh is, is incredible. um, but there has been a lot of george boyd washing

a lot of brands who decided, hey, you know what? we're going to get some, some people. and we'll put them in our clothes and we'll use them to say, look where we're inclusive, but they're not engaged with them. they're not paying with them. and more importantly, they're not telling their stories and figuring out ways to create access. i'm biased but being able to have a seat at the table that i received in the last 3 years as being an executive board member of the board of directors at burden. we've been able to do some really great work. we've created something called culture shift is that it is solely built in bringing people together to be able to sit and reflection, experience the sport, and figure out ways to solve for access. you're looking at a picture of a, of a zip. how, who also is the picture that you have in the back behind you? from the x games? he is the great black hope of, of snowboarding, his mantra, his whole, his whole reason for snowboarding, as professional, as a professional, is to make the mountains more more cop comfortable. i'm actually in venice right

now, working with him on some future plans for, for, for brand. but being able to have someone like that where we have that visibility, someone is iconic to be like, oh, that guy is one of the best of the world that draws people to be to see that reflection and, and in turn want to be able to have a piece of that experience, i would love to organize before we go to our experience like a who is a school instructor. he was so low as the wells. and so didn't come with the most positive of takes a pop set of tools. and let's have a listen. i have not seen a real evidence of diversity or inclusion in my career, especially across europe. no advertising, no imagery from sky schools, those teach associations. the only true difference was necessary to where i saw africans truly been excited in wanting to learn how to do snow sports. i

was teaching for free some little use who will show is amazing kind of the what doesn't know about that. so there's a scared result in the say to and i want to type so that let's check it out 1st. okay, hands on these guys. so it's on the board, head up and seeing a lot of ads on youtube and i just floods. i really want to try that and i've never seen snow in my life. so this is really the thing. see that's with a lot of someone here. i was paying on the space on this, on the mountains. all right, so, oh goodness me. so much want to talk about this and now i'm gonna say annette adrian. so lemme thank you so much for being on the show today. we really appreciate you and good luck. gimme a welcome making. when to smoke some more inclusive, i'm going to leave you with a great black hope of snowboarding, said how, thanks to watching. see you next time.
