August 9th
2014 now for many people this day was
just a normal Saturday you were at the
park you were maybe sleeping in you may
be watched a few too many Netflix binges
just saying or if you're a workaholic
like me you were
working but August 9th also signifies
something
else August 9th was the date that
Michael Brown Junior was shot and killed
and he lay down into the in the middle
of a street middle of a community for
hours without any governmental
help August 9th also was more than
that this was the day that people in our
community
remembered the inequities and inequality
between certain
residents now what's so interesting
about 2014 is that this year was the
year that St Louis was in the middle of
a huge
celebration we were celebrating our
250th
birthday there were Galas there were
literally birthday cakes throughout the
city it was really
annoying but then August 9th came and we
were reminded that while half of the
city were celebrating 250 fantastic
years the other half continued to live
in environments that were not allowing
them to be them best
sales so at this time a lot of people in
my community were asking the question
what should we do how do we step up to
address the unrest and inequalities in
our
community so I was asking that question
but I also was asking the question of
what should designers do now see many
people when I say designers they're like
w who what why do we need to call
designers to the party you know when I
sketch something on a napkin and slide
it to you that's when you show up okay
but the thing about design is that
design is the invisible
Innovation it was the invisible
Innovation because before Innovation was
even a
word you know design is effective when
you don't know that it's
there but when you're walking down the
street or you're within a building or
the clothes that you're wearing those
were all design
decisions and so I saw that as powerful
if design is shaping our culture and our
world and has been doing it for
centuries then why are we not inviting
designers to the table to address these
social justice issues that are embedded
within our
culture but then design is also
important for another
reason and that's because systems of
Oppression Injustice and inequities are
designed now many people may not use
that term to Define it but it's a
designed decision let me give you some
stats blacks are
incarcerated five times the rate of
whites latinx population almost two
times it would take black communities
228 years to obtain the same amount of
wealth as
whites that is 17 years shy of
slavery it would take the latinx
population to the year
2097 and then in my hometown St Louis in
my community there is a 18-year life
expectancy gap between black residents
and white
residents these are not individual
decisions these are systemic
designs so how do we bring design to the
table to address this and
why what does it look like when design
is brought to the table to address media
narration and media framing because the
reality is is that we are a country a
society of victim blaming and we like to
put labels on people whether you
recognize it or not Thug is the new way
to say the
nword and so when we recognize that
people are being removed from the fact
that they are human beings and depicted
another way you recognize that it's a
design problem
opposed to looking at these individuals
as a thug or a hulum or a gangster
recognizing that this was someone's son
daughter mother
student and saying how do we challenge
that or when we look at the idea of the
culture of fear in our society now many
people don't even recognize that there
is a culture of fear but statistics
actually show that there's a culture of
fear of black males you're more than
likely to cross the street you're you're
going to clutch your purse or you're
going to move closer to the wall in the
elevator so when we have this culture of
fear that in turn dictates our actions
and our decisions and our
biases sometimes we like to hide it
underneath the word of
safety or let's use design to challenge
this issue of stereotyping and
assumptions stereotyping is literally
the opposite of
individuality we are defining you based
on what I assume you are so opposed to
looking at it that way why don't we
recognize you for the individual that
you have grown to be myself personally
I'm a huge fan of techno if techno's not
on in the morning I ain't getting
up or how do we design spaces and
communities where in individuals are
able to come together and help each
other actually problem solve around this
issue this project here is an example
what they like to call the designer
calls a Civic match it takes the idea of
what we have already in our society
which is matchmaking you know we see it
on match.com or Tinder if you're trying
to sign find a love of your life or
maybe a
boo and they're saying well why don't we
have a place where people can come and
say I have this idea
and then other people come and say well
I'll help you make it
happen when this project closed in
November 2014 because it was only
intended for the protest there were over
768 actions that had occurred because of
this so what we need to do is redefine
the term design and we need to redefine
the term
designers because I believe that
everyone has the capability to be be a
designer when you make a decision you're
designing something the question you
need to ask yourself am I designing a
better world am I designing a better
outcome and another way to look at it is
to recognize that we all have values and
expertise now we we don't sometimes know
that we have power majority of us do not
all we have power in our knowledge we
have power in our skills we have power
in our talent
and so we need to bring that to the
table to collaborate and work
together if you're from the creative
sector my
musicians my artists my traditional
designers my spoken word
poets you are experts on Creative
problem solving on human connection on
connecting us with our souls see the
thing about artists that many people
don't put value on it because it's hard
to Define we like to consume it but we
don't necessarily give the value when we
think about the people that produces
it but think about the fact that they
are the recorders and the narrators of
our culture and our history and what
they can do when challenging social
issues or if you're from the social and
Civic sector our nonprofit execs our
Frontline responders you know the theory
history and a policy of an issue you're
able to holistically think about how are
we going to challenged this
problem or the business sector now yes
we like to call them because they have
money and we like their
money but they are more than
that they know how to think about the
feasibility and the scalability and the
sustainability of a
solution and when you are challenging
systemic issues that are so embedded in
our being we need sustainable approaches
not just one-offs
and then lastly but definitely not least
our community members or what I like to
call the living
experts they know the day-to-day impact
of whatever issue you're trying to
address but sometimes we're so focused
on putting up our power and putting up
these walls that we don't try to
collaborate with each
other here's an example of a community
designer that's why I like to call
people community designers her name is
Nicole Hudson
her background is marketing
Communications and she believes that
racial inequality is partially a
communication
issue so after doing work in advertising
and marketing and Publishing for so long
she was picked by the Ferguson
commission that was created after
Ferguson occurred to be the
communications director she made such an
impact that they asked her to be the
leader of the nonprofit that came out of
this forward through Ferguson but told
them I don't want to be the CEO I don't
like that title so she asked if her
title could be the lead
Catalyst and she was thinking about how
do I catalyze and amplify Collective
impact in the work they were
doing she did such a phenomenal job with
this that she was just selected to be
the senior policy advisor for racial
equity and strategic initiatives in the
new mayoral candid uh C
cabinet that's the first time they ever
had a role such as this in my
city or individuals like Travis Sheridan
now Travis he's in St Louis but he's
from California apparently we couldn't
kick him out he came he fell in love you
know and Travis he believes in what he
likes to call seripas
collisions he likes for people to
connect and engage with each other he
believe human connection is the is the
solution and not another app which is
funny since he's based in a Technology
Center so he does this in many ways he
does this through Arts he also likes to
do it with beer through his program boo
storming but what's so phenomenal about
Travis is that when this happened when
Ferguson happened he was the first one
to tell you I have no idea what to do
and this was hard for him because he's a
solution
developer but then he just realized that
opposed to trying to develop a solution
I need to learn to radically listen and
that's what he
did so when you take individuals like
Travis and Nicole and the thousands and
millions of people you and put it into
the equation we start to recognize that
as designers we can be the researchers
the strategists the teachers the doers
that we need to change our world but
what we need to Define is our
mission my mission is racial
equity I am particularly looking at how
do we build a better world for black and
latinx
populations you have to Define your
mission and when you define your mission
and look at it through the lens of
creative problem solving for civic
engagement you ultimately lead to
transformation not change but
transformation so what I want you to do
if nothing else when you lead today as
you step up and you say what's that
mission that's so important for me what
should I
design and when you do that I guarantee
you we're GNA continue to Build a Better
World for all of us thank you
