Welcome to the Obama Summit

2017.
-
hi, everyone!
-
Welcome to the second day of the
-
Obama foundation Summit!
-
We're thrilled to have you all
-
tuning in.
-
I hope you have really enjoyed
-
the main stage events.
-
A reminder, we're here to
-
inspire, empower and connect the
-
next generation of leaders.
-
You're critical to that.
-
We hope you stay in touch with
-
the Obama Foundation as we go
-
forward.
-
As part of this, we'll get into
-
some conversation with great
-
leaders and hear their
-
perspectives with civic
-
engagement and the work we can
-
do together.
-
First up, we have a writer,
-
award winning film maker and
-
activist.
-
Welcome.
-
Thank you so much.
-
Thank you for being here.
-
Thank you.
-
I want to start by first letting
-
our viewers know that you have
-
done really important,
-
innovative work in France when
-
it comes to addressing issues of
-
race, gender and religion.
-
I would love to hear from you
-
your view of civic engagement,
-
how do you think about what that
-
is and how has that informed
-
your approach to addressing
-
these issues?
-
Thank you for allowing me to
-
share my views.
-
First thing, I think that it is
-
important for every citizen to
-
think about himself or herself
-
as someone important.
-
As someone that can have a voice
-
and that can be part of the
-
global conversation.
-
I started my organization
-
because I was tired of hearing
-
people speaking about me as a
-
woman, as a French woman of
-
color without having me on the
-
set.
-
I decided with my organization
-
to tackle every day racism,
-
especially statements authored
-
by public personalities.
-
You mention that we try to be
-
innovative, we created a
-
ceremony, an award ceremony that
-
would reward the worst racist
-
sentences offered by public
-
personalities.
-
It was a way to use humor and to
-
work with comedians and at the
-
same time raise awareness on the
-
fact that when you hear the
-
media, public despair, you hear
-
much racist statements and you
-
feel there is nothing that you
-
can do about that.
-
Having that ceremony was a way
-
to be vocal in that.
-
Wow.
-
Thank you.
-
Thank you for your work!
-
Thank you for sharing it.
-
You're welcome.
-
I'm curious, you mentioned you
-
created this organization, the
-
indivisibles, I'm curious as a
-
young woman, as you were
-
recognizing the need in this
-
space what inspired you to
-
create an organization as
-
opposed to joining others, other
-
organizations in this space?
-
Just tell us a bit about that
-
process of creating that.
-
Because I had the feeling that
-
the other organizations were
-
doing a great job, but they
-
weren' really working on the
-
specific topics of prejudices
-
that I was concerned about.
-
Actually I was inspired by
-
another woman, another European
-
woman, I watched a dock ministry
-
on -- a documentary on a black
-
German, she said you cantic
-
German and black at the same
-
time, you can do this and be
-
black at the same time.
-
I contacted her, she -- we just
-
spoke and she said you should
-
gather with your friends and
-
start something.
-
That was all.
-
We were only six at the
-
beginning.
-
I had never, ever would have
-
known that it would be that big
-
in France.
-
Wow!
-
Thank you.
-
Last question for you.
-
Just tell me a little by the
-
about -- we're in day two of the
-
Summit.
-
What are you taking away?
-
What have you enjoyed and
-
inspired you?
-
The first thing I enjoy a lot is
-
the energy.
-
Everybody is enthusiastic, we
-
have people from all around the
-
world.
-
Wherever I turn around, I just
-
jump into someone that's
-
amazing, that's doing an amazing
-
job in his or her city or his or
-
her country.
-
That's something I really want
-
to bring back to my country.
-
It is inspiring.
-
I have the feeling that I can
-
connect with everyone here to
-
work back in my country.
-
Wonderful.
-
A final question.
-
What advice do you have folks
-
watching, perhaps what you have
-
said about questions of
-
identity, making a difference in
-
your community, perhaps really
-
resinate butt not but not sure o
-
get started.
-
What would you share about the
-
first steps to take.
-
Everyone has to learn that power
-
is in our hands.
-
We can do whatever we want to do
-
as long as we believe that we're
-
fighting for the right cause.
-
You know, I had no idea about
-
where I would go with my
-
organization but we were
-
convinced we were doing the
-
right thing.
-
That's the feeling I have being
-
here connecting with people who
-
are working on causes in other
-
places.
-
Wonderful.
-
Thank you so much for being
-
here.
-
Thank you.
-
We're proud of the work that
-
you're doing.
-
Thank you for encouraging me.
-
Thank you.
-
Next up, we have another special
-
guest, this is Joe, he's a
-
cofounder of RBNB which of
-
course we know -- many folks
-
watching right now, they have
-
taken advantage of the the
-
service in the past.
-
Welcome, Joe.
-
Come on up.
-
For anyone watching the morning
-
session, if you're able to
-
stream that, you know that Joe
-
joined an exciting, interesting
-
I think conversation about the
-
role that business has in
-
thinking about civic society and
-
that's really where I would like
-
to start, Joe, in case folks did
-
miss that.
-
We think at the Obama Foundation
-
a lot about the role that people
-
have, individuals have as
-
we're -- we want people to feel
-
that they have the power to make
-
a difference in their
-
communities.
-
I'm curious with the hat that
-
you wear as running a business
-
what do you view the role is for
-
business and institutions in
-
terms of creating the type of
-
civic society we want to have
-
together.
-
A great question.
-
I'm excited to be here.
-
It was a fascinating panel.
-
I think to get right into it I
-
feel like companies in the 21st
-
century have a responsibility to
-
go above and beyond the normal
-
calls of duty of the business,
-
to actually take whatever the
-
strengths are, whatever they're
-
good at and go out in the world
-
and solve problems and they can
-
do that through partnerships
-
with the public sector,
-
obviously, so I'm thinking right
-
now specifically of things that
-
we're good at as a company,
-
short-term hospitality, creating
-
trust between strangers and a
-
global scale through a
-
technology platform.
-
It showed up for us, how to
-
answer the question, how do we
-
put the roof over the head of
-
people that need it the most, we
-
create a pod, open homes,
-
allowing anyone to house someone
-
that's been displaced by natural
-
disaster, political conflict,
-
and so we host all over the&
-
world and they're going above
-
and beyond even hosting a
-
traveler, saying I want to open
-
my home to somebody that needs
-
it.
-
Wow.
-
Tell me a little about it, Joe,
-
you mention on the panel this
-
morning the story of how airBNB
-
came about, you had to pay the
-
rent.
-
It was the asset, it is key to
-
understand the assets that you
-
have in the community
