Let's play a game.
Mena says, 'Clap once.'
(Audience claps)
Great, well done.
Mena says, 'High-five
someone next to you.'
(Audience claps)
Very good. Okay.
Mena says, 'Touch the hair
of the person in front of you.'
(Laughter)
I'm serious.
Okay, now touch the hair
of the person next to you.
(Laughter)
Guys, guys -
Mena didn't say that time.
Come on, you know the rules.
Thank you for playing.
Just want to see, by a show of hands,
how many of you
just had your hair touched
by someone you've never met before?
Yeah? That's quite a lot of people.

دعونا نلعب لعبة.
تقول مينا: صفقوا مرة واحدة.
عظيم، أحسنتم.
تقول مينا: ألقوا التحية على شخص بجانبكم.
جيد.
حسناً.
تقول مينا:
المسوا شعر الشخص الذي يجلس أمامكم.
(ضحك)
أنا جادة.
حسناً.
الآن المسوا شعر الشخص 
الذي يجلس بجانبكم.
يا رفاق، يا رفاق،
هذه المرة لم تقل مينا ذلك.
من فضلكم أنتم تعرفون القواعد.
أشكركم على اللعب.
أردت فقط أن أرى برفع الأيادي
كم واحدًا منكم قد لمس شعره
شخص لم يلتق به من قبل؟
نعم، الكثير من الناس.

Facciamo un gioco.
Mena dice "battete le mani".
Bene, bravi.
Mena dice "date il cinque al vicino".
Molto bene. Ok.
Mena dice "toccate i capelli
della persona di fronte a voi".
Sono seria.
Bene. Adesso toccate i capelli
di chi avete a fianco.
Ehi, ragazzi,
Mena non ha detto così stretto, 
su, sapete le regole.
Grazie per aver partecipato.
Ora, alzino la mano tutti quelli
a cui sono stati appena
toccati i capelli da uno sconosciuto.
Beh, parecchi.

English: 
And just by a show of hands,
how many of you were like,
'Nah, I'm not touching
anybody's hair today.'
(Laughter)
I'm with you guys.
I launched the 'No. You Cannot
Touch My Hair' campaign survey
in the summer of 2017.
And just under half of the respondents
said they had their hair touched
on a monthly basis
by people they've never met before.
And within that, 18% said
it happened once a week.
So if you can imagine unwanted
and uninvited hair-touching
by people you've never met before:
that's my daily life.
About a year ago,
I got exhausted
with constantly saying to people,
'Don't touch',
like, 'Thanks for the compliment,
but keep your hands to yourself.'
And I kind of wanted
a recorder to just press play,
but I figured that prevention 
is much better than cure.
So I printed these T-shirts,
and I started to walk around wearing
'No. You Cannot Touch My Hair.'
And I wore them to supermarkets,
I wore them to work and to conferences,
I wore them out socially.

Italian: 
E alzino la mano
quanti di voi hanno pensato:
"No no, non tocco i capelli 
di nessuno io".
Vi capisco, ragazzi.
Ho lanciato la campagna
"No, non puoi toccarmi i capelli"
nell'estate del 2017,
e quasi la metà degli intervistati
ha detto che i loro capelli
sono stati toccati
da persone mai incontrate prima
almeno una volta al mese.
E tra loro il 18% ha detto che
gli è successo una volta a settimana.
Capirete che il toccare indesiderato 
e non richiesto di capelli
da parte di persone sconosciute
sono il mio pane quotidiano.
Circa un anno fa
mi sono stufata di dire costantemente
alla gente di non toccare,
tipo: "Grazie per il complimento 
ma tieni le mani a posto",
e avrei tanto voluto un registratore
così premevo solo play,
ma ho capito che prevenire 
è molto meglio che curare,
allora ho stampato queste magliette
e ho iniziato a girare indossando
"No, non puoi toccarmi i capelli",
e le indossavo al supermercato,
al lavoro, ai convegni.
Le indossavo tra amici.
Ma quello che ho osservato
è che molte persone

Arabic: 
وبرفع الأيادي فقط،
كم واحدا منكم قال الآتي:
"كلا، أنا لن ألمس شعر أحد اليوم."؟
أنا معكم يا رفاق.
أنا أسست حملة دراسية تدعى
"كلا. لا يحق لك لمس شعري".
في صيف عام 2017،
وفقط أقل من نصف الذين تم استطلاعهم
قالو أنه يلمس شعرهم شهريا
أشخاص لم يلتقوا بهم من قبل،
وضمن ذلك 18% قالوا أن اللمس
يحدث مرة واحدة أسبوعياً.
لذلك يمكن أن تتخيلوا
أن لمس الشعر غير المرغوب به وبدون دعوة
بواسطة أشخاص لم تلتق بهم من قبل
يحدث لي في حياتي اليومية.
منذ حوالي عام،
أصبحت متعبة من إخبار الناس باستمرار،
لا تلمسوا.
شكرا على الإطراء،
لكن أبق يديك بعيدة.
وأردت أن يكون لدي تسجيل أشغله فقط.
ولكنني قررت أن الوقاية أفضل من العلاج،
لذلك طبعت على هذه القمصان.
وبدأت أتجول وأنا مرتدية
"كلا. لا يحق لك لمس شعري".
وارتديتها في المحلات التجارية،
وارتديتها في العمل،
وفي المؤتمرات،
ارتديتها بالخارج.

Arabic: 
ولكن ما وجدته أن كثيراً من الناس
بدأوا يطرحون علي الأسئلة.
بعض الناس لم يعرفوا أن هذه مسألة هامة
على الرغم من أنها تؤثر على حياتي.
نعم إنها شيء مهم.
وبعض الناس قالوا: "نعم أريد قميصاً
لأن هذا يحدث لي".
لذلك أردت أن أبدأ بمتابعة هذه البيانات،
وهكذا بدأت الدراسة.
وكجزء من هذه الدراسة
أجريتُ هذه التجربة الاجتماعية.
[هل لمس شعر شخص غريب دون إذن أمر مقبول؟]
"إن شعرك مذهل."
[ما هو شعورك حيال هذا التصرف؟]
[شارك حكاية شعرك في الحملة الاستطلاعية:
"كلا، لا يحق لك لمس شعري"، على الرابط]
الجزء الأصعب هو محاولة مطاردة الناس،
ورفع القميص الذي أرتديه لأظهر لهم هذه 
الحملة الجديدة: "كلا. لا يحق لك لمس شعري".
ولأنهم اعتقدوا أنني أحاول الإساءة لهم،
قلت لهم: "لا، إنها تجربة اجتماعية".
وما فعلته هو اللحاق بالناس
وسؤالهم عن شعورهم،
والأغلبية في الفيديو قالوا
أنهم شعروا بالغرابة وبعدم الارتياح
غالبية المستطلعين في حملتنا قالوا أنهم 
شعروا بالتطفل عليهم

Italian: 
mi facevano domande e molti davvero
non sapevano fosse un problema,
anche se condiziona la mia vita,
quindi, sì, è un problema.
E alcuni dicevano, sì, 
voglio una maglietta, succede anche a me.
E allora ho iniziato a raccogliere dati
e così è nata la campagna.
Come parte della ricerca
ho fatto questo esperimento sociale.
Filmato: "Wow i tuoi capelli
sono fantastici!"
(Risate)
La parte più difficile
è stata rincorrere persone,
alzare la maglietta per mostrare 
la scritta della campagna
"No, non puoi toccarmi i capelli",
al che la gente mi prendeva 
per un'esibizionista
e dovevo dire: "No, no,
è un esperimento sociale."
Ma quando li raggiungevo
chiedendo loro cosa provassero,
la maggior parte diceva
che era stato strano e imbarazzante.
La maggior parte degli intervistati
della nostra campagna-studio
dicevano che ero stata 
indiscreta e invadente

English: 
But what I found was that lots of people 
started asking me questions.
Some people genuinely
didn't know that this was a thing,
even though it affects my life - 
yes, it's a thing.
Some people were like, 'Yeah,
I want a T-shirt; that happens to me.'
So I wanted to start collecting that data,
and the survey was born.
As part of the research for the survey,
I made this bit of a social experiment.
[Is touching a stranger's hair
without invitation ever okay?]
(Video) Mena Fombo:
Wow, your hair's amazing!
(Laughter)
[How does it make you feel?]
[Share your hair story]
[with the No You Cannot Touch My Hair
campaign survey - goo.gl/jkeuty]
Now, the hardest part of that
was trying to chase people,
lift up my shirt to show I was wearing
this campaign shirt underneath,
at which point they thought
I was flashing them,
and try and say, 'No, no,
it's a social experiment.'
When I did catch up,
I asked them how it felt.
And most of the people in the video said
it was weird and it was uncomfortable.
The majority of our campaign survey
respondents said that it felt intrusive,
it felt invasive,

Arabic: 
وشعروا بالغضب الشديد 
وبالانزعاج بسبب ما حدث لهم.
واحد من الأشياء التي وجدتها
هي أن أغلبية المستطلعين كانوا من النساء،
وبالتالي %90 في الحقيقة كانوا من النساء،
والأغلبية منهن كن من النساء والبنات السود.
وبالتالي نحن نعلم أن هذه مشكلة 
تؤثر على النساء السود
أكثر من أي عرق آخر.
و صديق أعرفه من البشرة البيضاء كان يقول:
"حسناً ولكن يا مينا لقد ذهبت في إجازة 
إلى الهند لأسبوعين
وكان الناس يلمسون شعري."
وقالت الكثير من النساء الأخريات:
"أنت تعلمين أنه عندما تكونين حاملا
يأتي الناس ويلمسون بطنك،
وهذا نفس الشيء."
لا أريد تكذيب هذه التجربة لأي أحد.
أي لمس غير مرغوب فيه أو من دون إذن
هو أمر غير مقبول بالكامل.
لكن معظم النساء عادةً 
يحملن لمدة تسعة أشهر فقط،
فبالتالي هذا النوع من اللمس سوف ينتهي.
وأنا لست في إجازة أو عطلة.
وكالكثير من المستطلعين
هذه هي البلد التي ولدت فيها،
وهذا يستمر في الحدوث.
قليل من الناس قالوا أنهم لا يمانعون اللمس،
وهذا أمر رائع.

Italian: 
e che si sentivano arrabbiati
e infastiditi per ciò che avevano subito.
Ho visto che la maggior parte
degli intervistati erano donne.
Infatti il 90% si definivano
di sesso femminile.
E la maggioranza
erano donne nere. E bambine.
Quindi questo problema
affligge donne e bambine nere
più di ogni altra razza.
L'amico di un amico,
un tipo bianco, diceva:
"Sì ma io ero in vacanza
due settimane in India
e lì mi toccavano i capelli".
E molte altre donne dicevano:
"Quando sei incinta,
si avvicinano e ti toccano la pancia,
è la stessa cosa".
Non voglio minimizzare
l'esperienza di nessuno,
ogni forma di contatto
non voluta e non richiesta
è assolutamente inaccettabile.
Ma le donne, in media,
restano incinte solo nove mesi
e quel tipo di invadenza
prima o poi finisce.
E io non sono in vacanza
e come per molti degli intervistati
questo è il paese in cui sono nata
e mi succede in continuazione.
Una piccola minoranza,
dice che non dà loro fastidio.
E va bene così.
Ma questa campagna è dedicata
allo sproporzionato e sconvolgente

English: 
and they were very angry and annoyed
that this happened to them.
One of the things that I found
was that the majority
of respondents were female.
So 90%, in fact, identified as female.
And the majority of those 
were black women and girls.
So we know this is an issue
that affects black women and girls
more than any other race.
Now, a friend of a friend,
this white guy, was saying,
'But Mena, I went on holiday
to India for two weeks,
and people were touching my hair.'
Lots of other women were saying,
'Oh, you know, when you're pregnant,
people come up and touch your stomach,
and it's the same thing.'
I don't want to take that experience
away from anybody.
Any form of unwanted 
and uninvited touching
is completely unacceptable.
But most women, on average,
are only pregnant for nine months,
so that type of touching 
will come to an end.
And I'm not on vacation or on holiday,
and like many of the respondents,
this is the country that I was born in,
and it still happens.
Some people, a very small minority,
said they didn't mind the touching,
and again, that's cool.
But this campaign is really targeted

Italian: 
numero di persone nere,
donne nere, ragazze nere
che subiscono questo
fastidiosissimo toccare di capelli.
Quando avevo sei anni dovevo fare Maria
nella recita scolastica -
avevo ottenuto LA parte -
e l'unico altro bambino nero della scuola
doveva fare Giuseppe.
E il giorno della recita
ci danno questo bambinello bianco.
(Risate)
Posso capire che sia 
geneticamente possibile,
per due persone di etnia africana,
dare alla luce un bimbo bianco,
ma questa era l'Inghilterra degli anni '80
e non credo che la scuola
intendesse quello.
Perciò chiesi un bambino nero,
e dissero di no
e la mia risposta fu che 
quando arrivarono i genitori
mi rifiutai di sorridere.
E quel giorno nacque
la mia attivista interiore.
A sette anni cominciai a notare
che ero diversa dai miei coetanei.
E conclusi che ero molto,
molto intelligente.
Sentite qui.
(Risate)

Arabic: 
ولكن هذه الحملة تستهدف
أعدادا كبيرة غير متناسبة من الناس السود
والنساء والبنات السود،
اللائي يعانين من لمس الشعر 
غير المرغوب فيه.
عندما كنت في عمر السادسة
لعبت دور مريم العذراء في مسرح المدرسة،
والصبي الأسود الآخر في المدرسة
قام بدور يوسف.
وفي يوم العرض أعطونا
دمية عيسى بيضاء.
(ضحك)
الآن، أنا أقبل أنه يمكن وراثياً
لاثنين من ذوي الأصول الأفريقية
أن يلدا طفلًا أبيض البشرة.
ولكن حدث هذا في الثمانينيات في إنجلترا،
فبالتالي لا أعتقد 
أن هذا ما أرادت المدرسة إيصاله.
(ضحك)
فطلبت دمية سوداء لكن أجابوا بالنفي.
رداً على ذلك، عندما جاء جميع الآباء
رفضت أن أبتسم.
كان ذلك اليوم الذي ولدت فيه 
الناشطة التي بداخلي.
عندما بلغت السابعة من العمر،
بدأت ألاحظ اختلافي عن زملائي.
فاستنتجت أنني كنت عبقرية للغاية.
(ضحك)
اسمعوني.
(ضحك)

English: 
at the overwhelming,
disproportionate number
of black people, black women, black girls
that experience 
this unwanted hair touching.
When I was six years old,
I was asked to be Mary in my school play -
I was, like, 'Getting lead part!'
And the only other black kid
in the school was asked to be Joseph.
And on the day, they gave us 
this white baby Jesus.
(Laughter)
Now, I accept
that it is genetically possible
for two people of African ethnicity 
to birth a white child.
But this was the '80s England,
so I don't think that that was the point
my school was trying to make.
So I asked for a black baby;
they said, 'No.'
And in response,
when all the parents came in,
I just refused to smile.
(Laughter)
That was the day
that my inner activist was born.
When I got to seven,
I started to notice
that I was different to my peers.
So I concluded that I was really,
really, really intelligent.
(Laughter)
Hear me out.
(Laughter)

English: 
So basically, this is kind of the age
when they started to notice
that I was black.
And so they'd ask me
really crazy questions like
'Why are you black?'
Because I was really intelligent,
I'd give these over-elaborate,
detailed explanations,
and I would say,
'I was born black.'
This was mind-blowing to them,
and they'd keep asking,
'But why were you born black?'
I'd never considered 
why they were born white,
but I'd say, well, I just was,
and we'd go back and forth.
But it became very apparent
that this wasn't the response they wanted.
So not just being intelligent,
I was very creative,
and so I made up stories.
I would tell the other kids
that I was walking to school
one day in the pouring rain,
a car drove past me,
this massive puddle splashed me with mud,
and by the time I got to school,
the mud had dried so hard
that I couldn't wash it off.
The kids actually believed the story
and were like, 'Is it true?'
I was like, 'Yeah.'
They would go and get their siblings
and come back and say,
'Tell my sister why you're black.'
And so this became my rhetoric
that I'd go around telling people.
And the fact that they believed
such a ridiculous story

Italian: 
Allora questa è l'età in cui
si accorgevano che ero nera
e mi chiedevano cose pazzerelle
tipo: "Perché sei nera?".
E siccome ero molto intelligente
davo queste spiegazioni elaborate
e dettagliate, tipo dicevo:
"Sono nata nera."
E questo per loro era strano, 
continuavano a chiedere:
"E perché sei nata nera?"
E non mi ero mai chiesta
come mai loro fossero bianchi
e dicevo: "Perché sì."
E continuavamo così,
ma era chiaro che questa non fosse
la risposta che volevano.
E non solo intelligente,
ero anche creativa, e inventavo storie
come quelle che dicevo ai compagni:
"Un giorno andavo a scuola 
sotto la pioggia battente
e passava una macchina
e quell'enorme pozzanghera
mi ha schizzata di fango
e arrivata a scuola
si era seccato così tanto
che non andava più via."
E i bambini ci credevano,
dicevano: "Sul serio?"
E io dicevo: "Sì, sì."
Chiamavano fratelli e sorelle,
tornavano e dicevano:
"Di' a mia sorella perché sei nera."
E questa divenne la solfa
che andavo a raccontare alla gente
e il fatto che credessero
a una storia così ridicola

Arabic: 
بشكل أساسي في هذه المرحلة من العمر
بدأوا بملاحظة أنني سوداء.
وبالتالي طرحوا عليّ أسئلة مجنونة جداً
من قبيل: "لماذا أنت سوداء؟"
وبسبب ذكائي، أعطيتهم الكثير من التفسيرات 
المفصلة والدقيقة.
وكنت أقول: "أنا ولدت سوداء."
وكان هذا مذهلا بالنسبة إليهم
لأنه بعد ذلك يستمرون بالأسئلة:
"ولكن لماذا ولدت سوداء؟"
وأنا لم يخطر ببالي 
لماذا ولدوا بالبشرة البيضاء.
قلت: حسناً، لقد ولدت هكذا،
وكنا نستمر بنفس الحديث.
ولكن أصبح واضحاً 
أن هذا لم يكن الجواب الذي أرادوه.
إذاً فلم أكن فقط عبقرية 
ولكن كنت أيضاً مبدعة،
لذلك ألفت قصصاً وأخبرت الأطفال الآخرين
أنني يوما ما كنت أمشي إلى المدرسة
تحت أمطار غزيرة.
وكانت توجد بركة ضخمة من الطين 
ومرت سيارة بجانبي،
فأصبحت مبلولة بالطين.
وعندما وصلت إلى المدرسة
جف الطين ولم أستطع تغسيله.
(ضحك)
وبالفعل صدق الأطفال هذه القصة
وسألوني إن كان هذا حقيقيا؟
وأجبت بالطبع.
فذهبوا لإحضار إخوتهم وعادوا
وقالوا: "أخبري أختي لماذا أنتِ سوداء."
وأصبحت هذه قصتي التي أقولها للناس.
وحقيقة أنهم صدقوا مثل هذه القصة السخيفة،

English: 
made me conclude that they were idiots
and I was really intelligent.
(Laughter)
Many years later,
my birth mother, Ayiba,
would tell me stories
about when she would go to work.
And she would take her Nigerian lunches,
so she would have egusi, okazi, garri.
And her colleagues would say,
'What's that smell?'
'What are you eating?'
'What is that?'
And she would look at them,
and she would say,
(Nigerian accent) 'I am eating worms.'
(Laughter)
'I am eating snake.'
'I am eating insect.'
And she said, 'Sumena,
sometimes you just have to tell
these people what they want to hear.
They think I am a savage,
so I will act like one.'
(Laughter)
My seven-year-old self
learnt to tell people
what I thought they wanted to hear.
By the age of eight,
I had convinced other kids 
my hair was made of sponge
because, of course, being black, 
it couldn't be made of hair.
But by nine, my difference started
to become more of an embarrassment.
I can remember going on a residential,
and on the first night, 
all the girls had to shower.
I was more developed than my peers,
so we get into the showers,
and my peers were fascinated by my body,

Arabic: 
جعلني أستنتج أنهم مغفلون وأنا كنت الذكية.
(ضحك)
بعد عدة سنوات
أخبرتني أمي آليبا قصصاً عنها.
عندما كانت تذهب إلى العمل
وكانت تأخذ غداءها النيجيري
وهو عبارة عن إيغوسي وغاري،
وكان زملاؤها يقولون: "ما هذه الرائحة؟"
"ماذا تأكلين؟"
"ما هذا؟"
فكانت تنظر إليهم وتقول:
"أنا أتناول الديدان"
(ضحك)
"أنا أتناول ثعبانا"
"أنا أتناول حشرة"
وقالت لي: "في بعض الأحيان يا مينا
عليك أن تخبري الناس ما يريدون سماعه.
هم يظنون أنني همجية لذلك سوف أتصرف هكذا."
في عمر السابعة علمت نفسي أن أخبر الناس
ما أظن أنهم يريدون سماعه.
وفي عمر الثامنة أقنعت الطلاب 
أن شعري مصنوع من الإسفنج.
لأنه بالطبع عندما تكون أسود البشرة
لا يمكن أن يكون لديك شعر طبيعي.
ولكن في التاسعة 
بدأ الفرق يصبح أكثر إحراجا.
أتذكر عند ذهابي لمدرسة داخلية، في أول ليلة
كان على جميع الفتيات أن يستحممن.
وكنت أكثر بلوغاً من زميلاتي.
عندما دخلنا للاغتسال
كانت زميلاتي مفتونات بجسدي جداً.

Italian: 
mi fece credere che loro fossero idioti
e io tanto intelligente.
Molti anni dopo, mia madre biologica
Ayiba mi raccontava storie
di quando andava al lavoro
e portava il suo pranzo nigeriano
per esempio egusi, okazi, garri,
e i suoi colleghi dicevano:
"Cos'è questo odore? Cosa mangi?
Cos'è?"
E lei li guardava e diceva:
(Accento nigeriano) "Mangio vermi."
(Risate)
"Mangio serpente."
"Insetti."
E diceva: "Mena, a volte 
devi dire a questa gente
quello che vogliono sentirsi dire.
Pensano che sia una selvaggia
e allora farò finta di esserlo."
Già a 7 anni
imparai a dire alla gente
quello che pensavo volessero sentire.
A 8 anni avevo convinto gli altri bambini
che i miei capelli erano di spugna,
poiché essendo nera non potevano
certo essere di capello.
Ma a 9 anni la differenza era
sempre più imbarazzante.
Mi ricordo una gita.
La prima notte, le ragazze
dovevano fare la doccia,
e io ero più sviluppata 
delle mie coetanee.
Andammo alle docce e le mie compagne

English: 
so much so that they took it in turns
to run into my shower
and to grab me here
and to grab me here
to see what it felt like.
And at the time, I tried to laugh it off,
but it was humiliating.
And it was so humiliating
that for the next three days,
I didn't wash.
Every day, the girls would say,
'Come shower',
and I was like, 'No, I'm not going.'
And by the third day,
I couldn't tell whether 
they wanted me to shower
because they still wanted 
to grab my hair or to see me naked
or whether it was because I smelt so bad,
because one of my guy friends said to me,
'Sumena, you stink.'
And I can remember
being mute the rest of that day.
The rumor kind of spread
through the school,
and over the next couple of weeks,
I remember being pulled out of my class
and sent to the headmistress's office.
And as I got there,
there was a male doctor in the office
and the headmistress and another teacher,
and they'd concluded that it was unusual
for someone my age to develop,
so they wanted to examine me.
And they pulled open
my skirt and my knickers

Italian: 
erano affascinate dal mio corpo
così tanto che fecero a turno
a correre al mio box 
e strizzarmi qui e strizzarmi qui
per sentire che effetto faceva.
Lì per lì provai a riderci su
ma era stato umiliante.
Così umiliante che 
per tre giorni non mi lavai.
E ogni giorno le ragazze 
mi dicevano: "Vieni a lavarti."
E io dicevo: "Non ci vengo."
E al terzo giorno non sapevo più
se mi volevano nella doccia
perché volevano ancora 
tirarmi i capelli o per vedermi nuda
o perché puzzavo tanto.
Perché uno dei miei amici venne da me
e mi disse: "Mena, tu puzzi".
Ma ricordo che rimasi muta 
tutto il giorno.
Si sparse la voce in tutta la scuola
e mi ricordo che due settimane dopo
fui prelevata dall'aula
per parlare con la preside.
Arrivo lì e c'era 
questo medico nell'ufficio
e la preside e un altro insegnante
e conclusero che era insolito
che una della mia età fosse sviluppata
e vollero esaminarmi.
Mi tirarono su la gonna
e giù gli slip e sotto videro
che avevo i peli.

Arabic: 
فتناوبن ليأتين إلي لإمساكي من هنا،
وإمساكي هنا.
ليعرفن كيف هو الشعور.
في ذلك الوقت حاولت أن أضحك للأمر،
ولكن كنت أشعر بالإهانة.
كان الأمر مهيناً لدرجة أنه 
في الثلاثة أيام المقبلة لم أذهب للاستحمام.
وكل يوم تدعوني الفتيات للاستحمام،
لكن كنت أرفض الذهاب.
وفي اليوم الثالث لم أعد أعلم 
ما إذا كن يردن مني الاستحمام
لأنهن ما زلن يردن الإمساك بشعري
أو أن ينظرن إلي وأنا عارية
أو لأن رائحتي تبدو كريهة.
لأن واحدا من أصدقائي
التفت إلي وقال: "مينا رائحتك نتنة."
وأتذكر بقائي صامتة بقية ذلك اليوم.
بدأت الإشاعات تنتشر في المدرسة،
وخلال الأسبوعين التاليين
أتذكر أنه تم سحبي من الصف
وإرسالي إلى مكتب مديرة المدرسة.
عندما وصلت إلى هناك
كان يوجد طبيب في المكتب
ومديرة المدرسة ومعلم آخر.
استنتجوا أنه من غير الطبيعي
لشخص في مثل عمري أن يبلغ،
لذلك أرادوا أن يفحصوني.
فتحوا سحاب تنورتي وخلعوا ملابسي السفلية،
ونظروا للأسفل ليروا أنني أملك شعراً.

English: 
and looked down to see that I had hair,
and I returned to class.
When I got home that evening,
my foster mother, Jean,
was absolutely furious when she found out.
And she called the school,
she said a few angry words,
and then she put the phone down,
and she turned to me, and she said,
'I did not give permission 
for that to happen to you.'
She said, 'I'm really sorry.'
She said, 'It takes all types 
of people to make a world,
and there's absolutely
nothing wrong with you.'
I was very grateful 
for my mother for saying that
because it does take all types 
to make a world.
And if we appreciate difference
and it's not this intrigue
that we feel a right
or an ownership to go and touch,
and maybe if other mothers shared 
that story with their daughters,
then perhaps we wouldn't
be seen as so much of an other
and my childhood may not
have been so humiliating.
In 1810,
a woman named Saartjie Baartman
was taken from South Africa
and brought to the UK.
She had distinct features:
she was a black woman with a large behind.
And they put her on display 
in Piccadilly Circus.
Thousands and thousands of people 
would come year on year

Arabic: 
وبعدها رجعت للصف.
عندما عدت إلى المنزل ذلك المساء 
كانت أمي الحاضنة جاين غاضبة للغاية.
عندما علمت بما حصل،
اتصلت بالمدرسة وقالت بعض الكلمات الغاضبة
وبعدها أغلقت الهاتف ثم التفتت إلي وقالت:
"أنا لم أعط الإذن ليفعلوا هذا بك
وأنا حقاً آسفة."
وقالت: "يتطلب جميع أنواع البشر 
ليصنعوا عالما،
وبكل تأكيد لا يوجد شيء خاطئ بك."
وأنا ممتنة للغاية لما قالته أمي،
لأنه يتطلب جميع الأنواع
ليكون هذا العالم موجودا.
و إذا كنا نقدّر الفرق،
ولا يكون شخص فضوليا فيما يخص الآخر
ليشعر بالحق أو الملكية ليذهب ويلمس.
أو ربما لو أن هناك أماً شاركت 
هذه القصة مع بناتها،
ربما لن نرى مثل هذا الأمر.
ولن تكون طفولتي مهينة جداً.
في عام 1810 أُخذت امرأة 
تدعى سارة بارتمان
من أفريقيا الجنوبية إلى المملكة المتحدة.
كان لديها سمات مميزة، كانت امرأة سوداء
وكانت لديها مؤخرة كبيرة.
فوضعوها في عرض بيكاديللي للسيرك.

Italian: 
E tornai in classe.
Quando tornai a casa la sera
mia madre affidataria Jean
divenne furiosa quando lo scoprì.
Chiamò la scuola e li coprì di insulti
e poi chiuse il telefono.
Poi si rivolse a me e disse:
"Non ho dato il permesso 
di farti quella cosa."
Mi disse: "Mi dispiace tanto".
Disse: "Ci vuole ogni tipo
di persone per fare il mondo
e non c'è niente di sbagliato in te".
E fui molto grata a mia madre
per avermelo detto,
perché sì, ci vogliono
tipi diversi per fare il mondo.
E se comprendiamo le differenze
e che non è poi così sofisticato
sentire che siamo autorizzati
ad andare a toccare.
Ma forse se altre madri
raccontassero questa storia alle figlie,
allora forse non saremmo viste
come una cosa strana
e la mia infanzia
non sarebbe stata così umiliante.
Nel 1810 una donna 
di nome Saartje Baartman
fu presa in Sudafrica e portata
in Gran Bretagna.
Era particolare, era una donna nera,
aveva un grande didietro
e la misero in vetrina
a Piccadilly Circus.
E migliaia e migliaia di persone
arrivarono anno dopo anno

Italian: 
a guardare e indicare e toccare,
affascinati, intrigati, curiosi.
E lei sopravvisse 5 anni in Gran Bretagna
e quando tornò,
scusate,
sopravvisse 5 anni in Gran Bretagna
e quando morì, medici e scienziati
erano così incuriositi dal suo corpo
che fecero un calco
e conservarono i suoi organi nei musei
fino agli anni 1970.
E nel 2002 Nelson Mandela
la fece riportare a casa
dove ricevette sepoltura.
Quando penso alla mia esperienza
a scuola coi miei coetanei
e alle donne che hanno risposto 
a "No, non puoi toccarmi i capelli",
e le paragono all'esperienza
di Sarah Baartman, devo dire
che le azioni continuano a ripetersi.
La curiosità verso i corpi neri -
quando dico corpi neri
intendo anche i capelli -
c'è stata per secoli.
E allora la motivazione
che porta a toccare i capelli
è diversa da quella che portava la gente
a vedere Sarah Baartman?
Ripeto,
c'è la stessa motivazione

Arabic: 
والآلاف من الناس يأتون عاماً بعد عام
للتحديق وللإشارة واللمس،
مفتونين ومستطلعين وفضوليين.
وقد نجت لمدة خمس سنوات في المملكة المتحدة،
وعندما عادت.
عذراً.
لقد نجت لمدة خمس سنوات في المملكة المتحدة.
وعندما توفيت
كان الأطباء والعلماء مفتونين بجسدها
فصنعوا قالباً بلاستيكياً 
واحتفظوا بالأعضاء في المتحف حتى عام 1970.
في عام 2002 أرسل نيلسون مانديلا طلبا 
لجلبها للديار حيث دُفنت.
عندما أفكر بما حدث لي 
في المدرسة مع زملائي،
وأفكر بالنساء اللائي شاركن 
في استبيان "كلا، لا يحق لك لمس شعري".
وأقارن بين هذا وتجربة سارة بارتمان،
أنا مضطرة لأن أقول
أن هذه الأفعال مستمرة في التكرار.
هذا الافتتان بالأجساد السوداء، وعندما أقول
أجسادا سوداء فهذا يتضمن الشعر الأسود،
موجود منذ قرون.
هل الدافع للمس الشعر مختلف عن دوافع
أولئك الذين ذهبوا ليشاهدوا سارة بارتمان؟
سأعيد ما قلته.

English: 
to stare and to point and to touch -
fascinated, intrigued, curious.
And she survived for five years in the UK,
and when she returned -
sorry.
She survived for five years in the UK.
And when she died,
doctors and scientists
were so fascinated by her body,
they made a plaster cast,
and they preserved her organs 
in museums until the 1970s.
And in 2002, Nelson Mandela
sent for her to come home,
where she received a burial.
When I think about the experience 
I had at school with my peers
and I think about the women who answered
the 'No. You Cannot Touch
My Hair' campaign survey
and I compare that 
to the experience of Sarah Baartman,
I have to say that the actions
keep repeating themselves.
This fascination with black bodies -
when I say black bodies,
I include black hair -
has been around for centuries.
So is the motivation for touching hair
different to the motivation
for those that went to see Sarah Baartman?
I'll say that again:
is the motivation
the same for touching hair

Italian: 
per andare a toccare i capelli
e ciò che è stato fatto a Sarah Baartman?
I primi zoo umani furono aperti nel 1889
da un certo Karl Heidenberg
che viaggiò per il mondo nelle tribù -
tra cui tribù africane - e le mostrò
in Europa e nelle Americhe,
e la gente andava a guardare e a fissare.
E questi zoo rimasero fino
agli anni 1960, e allora mi chiedo
se fossi nata alcuni decenni prima
avrei potuto essere io questa bambina?
Ci andarono a centinaia di migliaia
a puntare il dito e a guardare,
e c'erano anche cartelli che dicevano:
Non dar da mangiare ai selvaggi,
hanno già mangiato.
Molte donne che hanno risposto
alla campagna hanno detto
di essersi sentite come animali in gabbia
quando hanno toccato i loro capelli.
"I tuoi capelli sembrano i miei 
peli pubici" mi cantarono una volta
dei tipi mentre camminavo 
sul porto di Bristol.
"Non ho mai toccato un afro".

Arabic: 
هل الدافع للمس الشعر 
مشابه للذي حدث لسارة بارتمان؟
في عام 1889،
تأسست أول حدائق الحيوان البشرية 
على يد رجل يدعى كارل هايدنبرغ.
سافر حول العالم وأخذ قبائل،
البعض منها كانت قبائل إفريقية،
وعرضها في أوروبا والأمريكيتين.
وكان الناس يأتون ليشاهدوا وينظروا
وظلت حدائق الحيوان البشرية هذه 
موجودة حتى الستينيات.
وأتساءل إذا ما كنت قد ولدت قبل عدة عقود
هل سأكون في محل تلك الفتاة؟
جاء مئات الآلاف من الناس
لكي يشيروا وينظروا ويشاهدوا،
وكان لديهم إشارات تقول: 
"لا تطعموهم لقد تناولوا الطعام للتو."
قالت العديد من النساء في الاستبيان:
"أنه عندما يلمس الأشخاص شعري
أشعر وكأنه يتم مداعبتي في حديقة الحيوان."
شعرك يبدو مثل شعر عانتي
هذا ما قالته لي مجموعة من الفتيان
وأنا في طريقي قرب ميناء بريستول.

English: 
as it is for the actions
that happened to Sarah Baartman?
In 1889,
human zoos were first founded
by a guy named Carl Hagenbeck.
And he travelled the world,
and he took tribes,
some new African tribes,
and he presented them
in Europe and in the Americas,
and people would come
to stare and to see.
And those zoos existed until the 1960s.
And I think to myself,
'Had I been born a few decades earlier,
could this girl have been me?'
Hundreds of thousands of people
came to point and to stare and to view.
And they even had signs, and it would say,
'Don't feed the natives; 
they've already eaten.'
Many women who responded to the survey
said that people touching their hair,
it felt like being petted in a zoo.
'Your hair looks like my pubes'
is what a group of lads chanted at me
as I walked down Bristol Harbourside.
'I've never touched an Afro before'

English: 
are the kind of comments 
that people respond
when I challenge them 
after they've just grabbed my hair.
'You can touch mine'
is a common response I get
in meetings or at conferences
as a trade-off 
for exchanging hair touching.
One woman said to me,
'If your hair wasn't so beautiful,
people wouldn't touch it,'
after I went up to her and said,
'Don't touch my hair again.'
Is the motivation different?
Because the actions are still the same.
A 14-year-old girl from Bristol
wrote in and said
that she was in the shopping mall,
and a group of girls came
and started playing
with her hair from behind.
When she turned and asked them to stop,
they laughed and walked away.
Is the motivation different?
Because the actions are still the same.
Another woman
talked about her boss's boss
walking past her desk every day,
playing with her hair.
She said it happens not just to her
but to other women,
always of colour.
Is the motivation different?
Because the actions are still the same.

Italian: 
È il tipo di commenti che ho ricevuto
quando ho affrontato qualcuno
per avermi tirato i capelli.
"Puoi toccare i miei", mi rispondono 
ai meeting e alle conferenze
come argomento di scambio
per potermi toccare i capelli.
Una donna mi ha detto:
"Se i tuoi capelli non fossero belli
la gente non vorrebbe toccarli."
Le avevo appena detto di non toccare.
La motivazione è differente? Perché
le azioni sono ancora le stesse.
Una quattordicenne di Bristol
ha partecipato raccontando
che era in un centro commerciale
e alcune ragazze si misero
dietro a lei a giocare coi suoi capelli.
Quando si girò e chiese di smettere
loro risero e se ne andarono.
La motivazione è diversa?
Perché le azioni sono ancora le stesse.
Un'altra donna parla del capo del suo capo
che tutti i giorni al lavoro
le passa accanto e le tocca i capelli
e dice che non accade solo a lei
ma pure ad altre donne,
tutte di colore.
La motivazione è diversa?
Perché le azioni sono ancora le stesse.

Arabic: 
"أنا لم ألمس شعرا أفريقيا من قبل."
هذا النوع من التعليقات يقال لي عندما أعترض
بعدما يمسكون شعري.
"يمكنك لمس شعري."
إنه رد شائع أتلقاه مباشرة 
في اللقاءات أو المؤتمرات
كمقايضة لتبادل لمس الشعر.
ذات يوم قالت لي امرأة:
"إن لم يكن شعرك جميلاً لما لمسه الناس."
بعدما ذهبت إليها وقلت لها
لا تلمسي شعري مجددا.
هل الدافع مختلف؟
لأن الفعل لا يزال نفسه.
كتبت فتاة تبلغ من العمر 14 سنة من بريستول
قائلة أنها كانت في مركز تسوق
وأتت مجموعة من الفتيات
وبدأن باللعب بشعرها من الخلف،
وعندما التفتت وطلبت منهن التوقف،
ضحكن ومشين مبتعدات.
هل الدافع مختلف؟
لأن الفعل لا يزال نفسه.
تحدثت امرأة أخرى عن رئيس رئيسها
الذي يمشي بجانب مكتبها كل يوم 
ويلعب بشعرها.
وتقول أن هذا لا يحدث لها فقط
بل أيضاً لنساء أخريات من السود.
هل الدافع مختلف؟
لأن الفعل لا يزال نفسه.

Italian: 
Un padre racconta della figlia 
che implora di potersi stirare i capelli
perché il toccare è diventato incessante.
Una madre ha detto che deve intrecciare
i capelli della figlia tutti i giorni
perché la toccano troppo.
La motivazione è diversa?
Perché le azioni sono ancora le stesse.
Viviamo in un mondo 
che è sistematicamente iniquo,
progettato in modo da
favorire un gruppo rispetto a un altro
e un altro ancora.
E cominciamo a usare termini come
condizionamento inconscio,
microaggressione e macroaggressione,
quando invece secondo me
dovremmo dire razzismo.
La motivazione non è cambiata.
Le azioni sono ancora le stesse.
Se le parole diventassero persone,
allora direi che il potere 
sarebbe il nonno
e il pregiudizio la nonna
e insieme hanno generato il razzismo.
Ora, il razzismo fa coppia con l'ignoranza
e insieme creano le microaggressioni.

Arabic: 
تحدث أب عن توسل ابنته لتصفيف شعرها
لأن اللمس أصبح متكررا.
تحدثت أم عن تجديل شعر طفلتها كل يوم،
لأن اللمس أصبح أكثر مما ينبغي.
هل الدافع مختلف؟
لأن الأفعال لا تزال نفسها.
نحن نعيش في هذا العالم
غير المتكافئ بشكل منهجي.
صممناه لتفضيل مجموعة على أخرى
وعلى حساب أخريات.
ونبدأ بقول مصطلحات مثل التحيز اللاواعي 
والانتهاكات الجزئية والاعتداءات الكبرى.
ولكن أود أن أقول 
أنه يجب أن نطلق عليها عنصرية.
لأن الدوافع لم تتغير والفعل لا يزال نفسه.
إذا كنت تتخيل أن توصف الكلمات كأشخاص
فسأقول أن القوة ستكون الجد.
التعصب سوف يكون الجدة.
ومعاً أنجبا العنصرية.
الآن العنصرية مرتبطة بالجهل،
ومعا يولّدان الانتهاكات الجزئية.

English: 
A father talked about his daughter 
begging to have her hair straightened
because the touching
had become relentless.
A mother talked about having to braid
her child's hair every day
because the touching had become too much.
Is the motivation different?
Because the actions are still the same.
We live in this world
that is systematically unequal.
So we have designed it
to favour one group
over another and over another.
And we start to say terms like
'unconscious bias'
and 'microaggression'
and 'macroaggression'.
But I would argue that
we should really be saying 'racism'.
The motivation hasn't changed;
the actions are still the same.
If you imagine
that we were to describe words as people,
then I would to argue
that 'power' would be the grandfather,
'prejudice' would be the grandmother,
and together, they have
given birth to 'racism'.
Now, 'racism' hooks up with 'ignorance',
and they create 'microaggression'.

Italian: 
Se immaginate che le microaggressioni
sono cresciute da ignoranza e razzismo,
cosa credete che diventeranno?
Ogni volta che mi mettete
le mani nei capelli senza permesso
voi siete quello.
E ogni volta che chiedete il mio permesso
e io dico no,
voi siete lo stesso quello.
E ogni volta che succede
davanti a voi, e non intervenite,
e non vi organizzate
perché non accada più,
voi siete quello.
Definisco toccare i capelli
"aggressioni ai capelli".
Ogni persona nera, ogni donna nera
e ogni bambina nera
merita gli stessi privilegi
dei nostri pari
e meritiamo il diritto 
di andare al lavoro
senza essere aggredite.
Meritiamo il diritto all'istruzione
senza essere aggredite,
e meritiamo il diritto di andare a cena
con gli amici senza sentirci in dovere
di educare gli altri sui capelli neri, 
la storia nera, la cura dei capelli neri.

Arabic: 
وإذا تخيلت أن هذه الانتهاكات الجزئية
رباها الجهل والعنصرية.
فماذا تتوقع أنها سوف تصبح؟
كل مرة تضع فيها يدك على شعري بدون موافقتي،
أنت تكون مثلها.
وفي كل مرة تطلب موافقتي وأرفض،
أنت أيضا تكون مثلها.
وفي كل مرة ترى ذلك يحدث ولا ترفض
وليس لديك أنظمة لتمنع هذا من الحدوث،
أنت تصبح مثلها.
لمس الشعر هو الاعتداء على الشعر.
كل شخص أسود وامرأة سوداء أو فتاة سوداء
يستحقون نفس المعاملة التي يتمتع بها الكل.
نحن لنا الحق في الذهاب إلى العمل
من دون مهاجمات.
نحن لنا الحق في الحصول على التعليم
من دون مهاجمات.
ونحن لنا الحق في الذهاب 
إلى تناول العشاء مع الأصدقاء
من دون توقعات بأن أكون عالمة في كل شيء
يخص الشعر الأسود والتاريخ الأسود
والعناية بالشعر الأسود.

English: 
Now, if you imagine that 'microaggression'
is raised by 'ignorance' and 'racism',
what do you think she's going to become?
Every time you put your hands in my hair
without my permission,
you are her.
And every time you ask my permission
and I say 'No',
you are also her.
Every time you see it happen
and you don't call it out,
and we don't have systems in place
to stop it from happening,
you are her.
I call hair touching 'hair attacks'.
Every black person, black woman,
black girl deserves the same privileges
as our peers.
So we deserve the right to go to work
and to not be attacked.
We deserve the right to have an education
and to not be attacked.
And we deserve the right
to go for dinner with friends
and not be expected to be
the educator of all things black hair,
black history, black hair care.

Arabic: 
كان الكثير من المشاركين غاضبين
من ردود الفعل عند اعتراضهم على هذه الأشياء
لذلك سألتهم: "ماذا نستطيع أن نفعل؟ 
ماذا يمكننا أن نفعل؟"
وأجابوا بثلاثة أمور:
أولاً يجب أن يتوقف الناس عن اللمس.
وبالتالي إذا كنت منهم فافعل ما يتوجب عليك.
ضع مذكرة أو ملاحظة على جهاز الكمبيوتر.
ثقف نفسك وتوقف عن اللمس.
ثانياً،
قالوا أن هناك حاجة 
لمزيد من التعليم والوعي،
وهذا يعني المزيد من التمثيل
في وسائل الإعلام الرئيسية،
والمزيد من التاريخ في المدارس
وليس فقط لمدة شهر واحد،
أتمنى أن هذه المحادثة اليوم كانت مفيدة
لزيادة نسبة الوعي والتعليم.
ولكن لا تكتفوا بهذا فقط،
استعملوا موقعي غوغل واليوتيوب.
إن كان هذا يؤكد وضعك أو كان جديداً عليك،
إذن تعلم وشارك.
وثالثاً، أخيراً وليس آخراً،
قالوا أنه يجب أن نقوم بالمزيد من الرفض.
نحتاج جميعنا أن نعبر عن رفضنا.
كيف نقوم بذلك؟

English: 
Many of the respondents were angry
at the responses that come
when you challenge things.
So I asked them, what can we do,
what can be done?
And they came up with three things.
One -
they said that the touchers
just need to stop touching.
So if you're someone who touches,
whatever you need to do -
put a memo, a Post-it note 
on your computer, educate yourself -
but stop touching.
Two -
they said that more education
and awareness was needed,
and that looks like more representation
in mainstream media,
more history in schools
and not just one month.
I hope that this talk today
has helped to raise
some awareness and education,
but don't be complacent.
Google, YouTube exist.
So if this reaffirms your position,
or if this is new to you,
then learn, share.
And three - last but not least -
they said that we need
to call it out more.
We all need to call it out more.
What does that look like?
I'm going to tell you.

Italian: 
Molte delle intervistate erano furiose
per le reazioni che riceviamo
quando lo facciamo notare,
e allora ho chiesto
cosa possiamo fare, cosa si può fare?
E loro hanno trovato tre cose:
uno,
dicono che chi tocca deve smettere, punto.
E se siete tra quelli,
qualunque cosa abbiate da fare,
fatevi un promemoria,
attaccate un post-it sul computer,
imparate a non toccare.
Due,
hanno detto che ci vogliono
più educazione e consapevolezza
e questo significa più visibilità
nei media principali,
più storia nelle scuole,
e non un mese soltanto.
Spero che questo discorso oggi
sia utile a generare
educazione e consapevolezza,
ma non accontentatevi.
C'è google e c'è youtube
e che questa sia per voi una novità
o meno, imparate e condividete.
Poi c'è il tre, dulcis in fundo,
dicono che bisogna denunciare di più.
Tutti dobbiamo denunciare di più,
E come si fa?
Adesso ve lo dico.

Arabic: 
سوف أخبركم.
سوف أقسمنا من الوسط.
يا رفاق هنا أنتم "لا".
عندما أشير ستقولون "لا"، هذه الكلمة.
والرفاق هنا " تلمس".
إنهما كلمتان بسيطتان.
وهكذا نقوم بالرفض.
الجمهور: "لا."
يا رفاق إن صوتكم منخفض.
(ضحك)
إنهما كلمتان بسيطتان.
إذا لم يفهم شخص أو لا يعرف أو لم يجرب.
الآن هذه هي الطريقة لتقوم بالرفض.
الجمهور: "لا."
الجمهور: "تلمس."
أريد أن أسمع بصوت عال
مثل هؤلاء الرفاق في المقدمة.
الجمهور: "لا."
الجمهور: "تلمس."
أريد أن أسمعها مرة أخرى:
كيف نعبر عن الرفض؟
الجمهور: "لا."
الجمهور: "تلمس."
قالت أنجيلا دايفيس: "أنا لن أقبل الأشياء
التي لا يمكنني تغييرها
ولكن سأغير الأشياء 
التي لا يمكن أن أقبلها."
أنا أوصل هذا لكم وأقول:
"إذا كان الدافع مختلفاً
فعلينا أن نغير الوضع بأفعالنا."
شكراً لكم.
(تصفيق)

Italian: 
Ci divido in due gruppi.
Voi ragazzi qui siete "Non",
al segnale ditelo,
e voi qui siete "Toccare".
Sono due semplici parole
ed è così che denunciamo.
Non -
Ragazzi, era moscia.
Sono solo due parole,
e se c'è qualcuno che non capisce
o non lo sa o non l'ha vissuto ancora
questo è il modo di denunciare.
Non
Toccare
Voglio sentirlo forte
come fanno qui davanti
Non
Toccare
Ancora una volta.
Come lo denunciamo?
Non!
Toccare!
Angela Davis disse: "Non accetterò più
le cose che non posso cambiare,
ma cambierò le cose 
che non posso accettare."
Allora mi rivolgo a voi e dico:
se la motivazione è davvero diversa
dobbiamo far sì che 
le nostre azioni siano quel cambiamento.
Grazie.
(Applausi) (Acclamazioni)

English: 
I'm going to split us through the middle.
You guys over here are 'don't'.
When I point, you'll say your word.
You guys here are 'touch'.
It's two simple words,
and this is how we call it out.
(Audience) Don't.
Guys, that was weak.
(Laughter)
It's two simple words.
So for anybody who doesn't understand,
doesn't know, or hasn't experienced this,
this is how you call it out.
(Audience) Don't! Touch!
I want to hear it loud
like these guys at the front.
(Audience) Don't! Touch!
I want to hear it one more time!
How do we call it out?
(Audience) Don't! Touch!
Angela Davis said,
'I am no longer accepting 
the things I cannot change,
but I am changing the things
I cannot accept.'
I extend that to you,
and I say:
if the motivation is truly different,
then we need to let
our actions be that change.
Thank you.
(Applause) (Cheers)
