I want you to take this journey with me.
1
5246
2375
00:07
Let's set the stage.
2
7913
1583
00:09
It's a Sunday in Baltimore.
3
9788
1500
00:11
There could be kids in the park Druid Hill.
4
11329
2292
00:14
They're watching dirt bike riders go pass,
5
14038
2041
[塑造未来]
00:16
do tricks, pop wheelies, do stunts,
6
16079
2625
让我带你一起来感受一下这一场景。
00:18
they're zipping.
7
18746
1250
我们开始吧。
00:20
If you hear the engines revving, smell the gasoline,
8
20038
2541
这是巴尔的摩的一个星期天。
00:22
you can see the joy and excitement on their face.
9
22621
2500
有孩子们在德鲁伊山公园玩。
00:25
Someone’s probably learning how to fix their dirt bike,
10
25121
2625
他们看到有人在骑越野摩托,
00:27
because the parts are way too expensive to buy.
11
27746
2750
车手们在玩花样, 他们抬起前轮,做特技,
00:30
Then they can go to school.
12
30538
1833
骑车飞奔。
00:32
They can get a pop quiz or a test from a teacher.
13
32829
2333
如果你听到他们发动引擎的声音, 闻到汽油味,
你可以从他们脸上看到喜悦和激动。
00:35
You know the kind we all heard and we've all hated.
14
35204
2417
00:37
"A train that's leaving from New York,
15
37621
1958
有人正在学习怎样修理自己的越野摩托
00:39
goes to Cleveland,"
16
39579
1458
因为直接换一个摩托配件太贵了。
00:41
but they're here in Baltimore.
17
41079
1667
00:42
How does this relate?
18
42787
1167
孩子们回到学校后,
00:43
They don't get it.
19
43996
1166
老师给他们布置了一个突击测验,
00:45
They fail the test and now they can hate school.
20
45162
2459
00:47
Then their world can be turned upside down.
21
47662
3417
我们都知道也都讨厌的那种测试。
“一艘火车驶出纽约,
00:51
They can get on Facebook, on Instagram,
22
51079
2083
开往克利夫兰,”
00:53
get a call or a text.
23
53204
1625
但这里是巴尔的摩。
00:54
They can watch as their friend can become a hashtag,
24
54871
3083
这两个地方和巴尔的摩有什么关系?
孩子们不会这道题。
00:57
a kid in the wrong place at the wrong time.
25
57954
2625
他们没能通过考试, 也更不喜欢学校了。
接着他们的世界 发生了天翻地覆的变化。
01:00
Lost to the streets, lost to the system
26
60912
1959
01:02
or lost to gun violence.
27
62871
1792
他们玩Facebook,看Instagram,
01:04
Or a kid that could be arrested for a dirt bike.
28
64704
2959
在上面打电话或者聊天。
他们整日浏览社交网站上的话题,
01:07
Because in my city
29
67704
1209
01:08
it can be a misdemeanor for possession of a dirt bike.
30
68913
2791
孩子们在错误的时间 出现在了不对的地方。
01:11
This can be a likely story for Black kids across the country.
31
71746
3042
他们迷失在街头,迷失在系统里
01:14
In cities like Miami, Cleveland, Atlanta, Philly,
32
74829
3834
或者说迷失在了枪支暴力中。
一个孩子可能因为驾驶越野摩托车 而遭到逮捕。
01:18
whatever place had the dirt bike task force.
33
78704
2542
因为在我所在的城市里
拥有一辆越野摩托可以算轻罪了。
01:21
Now ask yourself if the thing you use to relieve your stress,
34
81579
4125
这是全国黑人小孩的故事。
01:25
if it was demonized,
35
85746
1458
在像迈阿密、克利夫兰、 亚特兰大、费城这样的城市,
01:27
would you still do it?
36
87246
1250
01:28
If it was criminalized?
37
88913
1666
到处都有越野摩托的特遣小组。
01:31
The answer is yes.
38
91163
1416
01:33
That's the reality for Black people across the US right now.
39
93413
3041
问问你自己, 如果能缓解你焦虑的东西,
01:36
They’ve watched as we made room in cities for skateboarders, for bicyclists
40
96454
4125
受到了官方的排斥,
你还会用它缓解焦虑吗?
01:40
and any other sport.
41
100579
1292
如果它被认为是非法的呢?
01:41
They can watch TV and see it on X Games, the Olympics or ESPN.
42
101913
4708
答案是肯定的,会用。
这就是美国黑人现在所面临的情况。
01:46
The style of riding can be seen in ad campaigns and films.
43
106621
3583
只要我们在市内玩滑板,玩自行车
01:50
But in Baltimore, what do they have to look forward to?
44
110204
2625
01:52
What do riders get from all of it?
45
112871
1625
或者玩其他任何运动, 就会被特遣小组盯上。
他们可以看电视,在极限运动、奥运会 和娱乐与体育电视台上看到这些运动。
01:54
No space, no outlet,
46
114538
2416
01:56
just a typical narrative.
47
116954
1667
01:58
Like I said, this is a common story.
48
118954
2209
在广告和电影上 可以看到人们骑这种车。
02:01
I was the kid in a park.
49
121204
1875
但在巴尔的摩, 他们还有什么可以期待的?
02:03
I wanted to be just like the big dirt-bike riders,
50
123121
2542
摩托车手可以得到什么?
02:05
but I hate to fall.
51
125663
1333
02:06
Instead, I became like Bill Nye The Science Guy.
52
126996
2792
没有自己的空间,没有发泄的出口,
老生常谈的说法。
02:09
I was doing all kinds of experiments, blowing my eyebrows off,
53
129829
3084
就像我说的, 这是一个再普通不过的故事。
02:12
gluing people to the chair,
54
132954
1334
我就是那个在公园里的小孩。
02:14
and I may or may not have made stink bombs at school.
55
134329
2917
我也想骑越野摩托,
02:17
They would describe me as another bad kid.
56
137913
2125
但我害怕摔倒。
因此,我成为了一个 像比尔·奈那样搞科学的人。
02:20
What they didn't see was all my genius, my talent,
57
140038
2750
我做过各种各样的实验, 比如把我的眉毛吹掉,
02:22
my voice was not heard.
58
142829
1667
02:24
Then I became that Black girl from West Baltimore working in STEM.
59
144996
3292
把人粘在椅子上,
我可能还在学校里做臭气弹。
02:28
My first position, I was confused for the secretary.
60
148704
3000
他们会认为我是一个坏孩子。
02:31
I was pissed.
61
151746
1500
他们却没看到我的才智与天赋,
02:34
But it lit a fire in me.
62
154121
1625
他们从不会在意我说的东西。
02:35
So I want to get more people in the industry.
63
155788
2125
之后,我这个来自西巴尔的摩的黑人女孩
02:37
And in 2013, that's what I started doing.
64
157913
2041
02:39
Working in small groups with kids and students,
65
159954
2250
开始从事科学、技术、工程 和数学方面的工作。
我的第一份职位竟然被误认为秘书。
02:42
teaching them STEM activities.
66
162204
1500
02:43
Then in 2014,
67
163746
2208
我非常恼火。
02:45
I lost my little brother to the prison system.
68
165996
2708
但这也点燃了我心里的一个想法。
我想让更多的人进入这个行业。
02:49
In 2015, I lost all faith in the system, period.
69
169204
3792
我从2013年开始行动。
我开始和孩子还有学生组成小组,
02:53
The world watched the following of Freddie Gray uprising
70
173746
2958
我们一起开展科学、技术、 工程和数学方面的活动。
在2014年,
02:56
as Baltimore burned.
71
176746
1458
我的弟弟进了监狱。
02:58
I wondered when were people going to listen,
72
178246
2500
03:00
where were the solutions?
73
180788
1458
2015年,我对整个体系 都丧失了希望。
03:02
And where was the investment into my community?
74
182246
2375
03:05
In 2016, I broke the system
75
185329
2667
弗雷迪·格雷的死亡
03:07
and became the founder and CEO of B-360,
76
187996
3125
引发了巴尔的摩抗议示威游行。
我想知道人们什么时候才会去倾听,
03:11
carving out a new lane.
77
191163
1666
03:12
I went back to my experience in the park.
78
192871
1958
出路在哪儿?
03:14
I thought about the kids fixing their bikes.
79
194871
2083
我们的社区要怎样获得投资?
03:16
Those are skills people use to pay the bills,
80
196954
2500
2016年,我开始冲破这个体制,
03:19
just like mechanics and mechanical engineers.
81
199496
2375
成为B-360的创始人和首席执行官,
03:21
We leaned into STEM.
82
201871
1792
03:23
S -- Science.
83
203663
1791
开辟了一条新道路。
我想到了自己小时候在公园的经历,
03:25
The science behind popping the best wheelie,
84
205496
2292
想到了当时那群正在修越野摩托的孩子。
03:27
pulling your dirt bike at twelve o'clock
85
207829
1959
03:29
is a physics equation.
86
209829
1167
他们的手艺是可以赚钱的,
03:30
T -- Technology.
87
210996
1750
他们就像就像懂机械的工程师一样。
03:32
The technology needed to get the best radial tires
88
212788
3000
让我们结合STEM来看。
03:35
so you don't have frictional asphalt.
89
215788
2083
“S”——科学。
03:37
E -- Engineering.
90
217913
1583
做出绝佳的后轮滑特技
03:39
The engineering needed to fix or peg a dirt bike,
91
219538
2583
骑向正前方,
这些动作背后的科学 涉及到物理方程式。
03:42
but to also get the best "mac mac" noise.
92
222163
2583
“T”——技术。
03:44
M -- Mathematics.
93
224746
2042
获得最好的子午线轮胎需要技术,
03:46
The math needed for the gas to oil ratio
94
226829
2792
这可以降低你摔倒擦伤的可能性。
03:49
so your dirt bike does not explode.
95
229663
2291
“E”——工程。
03:51
Then I took it a step further.
96
231996
1625
修理或者为摩托车加一个脚蹬 需要用到工程学,
03:53
I thought about the riders.
97
233621
1458
想让摩托车发出好听的声音 也需要工程知识。
03:55
I knew the only way to have program and solutions
98
235079
2834
“M”——数学。
03:57
was to have them at the table.
99
237913
1916
调和汽油比例需要用到数学知识,
03:59
Because the people closest to the problem are the solution.
100
239871
2833
要是比例没调好,很肯能会引起爆炸。
04:02
I thought about Mike.
101
242996
1333
然后我想到了其他更远的东西。
04:04
Since he was six, he's been riding dirt bikes.
102
244371
2417
我想到了车手们。
04:06
When he was 17, graduating high school,
103
246829
2125
唯一的解决方法就是
04:08
he didn't know what he wanted to do,
104
248954
1750
让车手们也参与进来。
04:10
but he knew he loved everything about dirt bikes.
105
250746
2708
解铃还须系铃人。
04:13
He started working with us in B-360,
106
253454
2000
我想到了麦克。
04:15
he's helped us educate kids,
107
255496
1667
他从六岁就开始骑越野摩托。
04:17
train dirt bike riders,
108
257204
1417
04:18
and at 21 he's our lead instructor.
109
258663
2333
17岁时高中毕业 ,
他不知道自己可以做什么,
04:21
He's created events,
110
261038
1416
04:22
he's traveled across the country
111
262454
1542
但他知道自己热爱 和越野摩托有关的一切。
04:24
and he really represents the best of B-360.
112
264038
2791
他开始来B-360工作,
04:26
At the core of our work
113
266871
1292
帮助我们教育小朋友,
04:28
is constantly thinking about what people like Mike want.
114
268204
3125
训练越野摩托车手,
他21岁就成了B-360的主教员。
04:31
For Mike, he wants a space.
115
271371
1833
04:33
A space where he can keep working with students on our curriculum,
116
273496
3125
他想出了各种活动,
也在全国各地参加活动,
04:36
a space where he can keep training more riders
117
276621
2167
他代表着B-360最棒的那群人。
04:38
and growing their skill sets,
118
278829
1584
我们工作的核心
04:40
a space where he no longer has to escape,
119
280454
2625
就是不断地思考像麦克那样的人 他们想要的是什么。
04:43
but he has something in his own city for him.
120
283079
2375
对于麦克来说,他想要的是一个空间。
04:45
With your support and the support of more cities,
121
285954
2459
在那里他可以继续 按照教学安排教学生,
04:48
we can make this a reality.
122
288454
1750
在那里他可以继续训练更多的车手,
04:50
Since 2017,
123
290246
1750
并提升他们的技能,
04:52
we've saved the city of Baltimore about 233 million dollars
124
292038
5208
在那里他不再需要逃避,
在那里有自己的立足之地。
04:57
by doing programing for over 7,000 students.
125
297288
2916
有了你们和其他城市的支持,
05:00
We've saved the city of Baltimore one million dollars
126
300246
2958
我们可以使这成为现实。
自2017年以来,
05:03
by growing work force and opportunities for people just like Mike.
127
303246
3667
通过为7000多名学生做培训,
05:07
That's less people that could possibly go to jail,
128
307454
2500
05:09
less money spent on dollars and cents of incarceration
129
309996
3542
我们已经为巴尔的摩市 节省了约2.33亿美元。
通过为迈克遭遇相似的人 增加就业机会,
05:13
and more money going back into our Black communities, our leaders,
130
313579
3417
我们已经为巴尔的摩市 节省了100万美元。
05:17
our culture and our voices.
131
317038
1875
05:18
We don't need your black squares,
132
318913
2000
入狱人数减少了,
05:20
we don't need your campaigns,
133
320954
2000
用于监狱的支出也相应减少,
05:22
but what we do need is your dollars and cents behind us
134
322996
3292
更多的钱用到了黑人社区, 用到了我们的领导人身上,
05:26
to make real change.
135
326329
1500
05:27
We need more people like you in cities
136
327829
1959
05:29
to believe in investing in us and our model of growing the people.
137
329829
3459
用于传播我们的文化, 使社会听到我们的声音。
不需要你们在社交网站上 发黑色方块的帖子,
也不需要任何游行活动,
05:33
What will you choose to be?
138
333288
1583
我们需要的是你们的资金支持,
05:35
An ally?
139
335246
1167
05:36
Be an impact?
140
336746
1167
05:38
Be the revolution?
141
338246
1625
让这个活动能真正的改变社会。
05:39
B-360.
142
339871
1542
我们需要更多像你们一样的人,
相信并投资我们的培养模式。
05:42
Thank you.
143
342121
1125
你选择成为什么?
一个盟友?
一个有影响的人?
还是一个能带来一场变革的人?
来成为B-360的一员吧。
谢谢各位!
