ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Cameron Russell - Model
Cameron Russell has stomped the runways for Victoria's Secret and Chanel, and has appeared in many magazines. But she is much more than just a pretty face.

Why you should listen

Cameron Russell has spent the last decade modeling. A Victoria's Secret favorite, she has appeared in multiple international editions of Vogue as well as in ads for brands like Ralph Lauren and Benetton. But she feels at her core that image isn't everything.

Cameron runs the blog ArtRoots.info, which is dedicated to covering grassroots public art and political power. She also experiments with creating street art herself. In addition, Cameron is the director of The Big Bad Lab, which creates participatory art that aims to include people in radical demonstrations of positive social change.

She's a co-founder of the new web-based magazine Interrupt, about women, identity, the internet and taking action. Read an update on her work in the New York Times >>

Cameron Russel priznaje da je osvojila "genetsku lutriju": visoka je, lijepa i model za donje rublje. Ali nemojte je suditi prema njezinom izgledu. U ovom hrabrom govoru, daje drugačiji pogled na industriju koja je učinila da sa 16 godina izgleda izuzetno privlačno. (Snimljeno na TEDxMidAtlantic)

00:28

And I feel like there's an uncomfortableneudoban tensionnapetost

4

12990

3474

I osjećam neugodnu napetost

00:32

in the roomsoba right now

5

16464

1530

ovdje u prostoriji

00:33

because I should not have wornnosi this dresshaljina. (LaughterSmijeh)

6

17994

2998

zato što nisam trebala
obući ovu haljinu. (Smijeh)

00:36

So luckilysrećom I broughtdonio an outfitodijelo changepromijeniti.

7

20992

3329

Srećom, donijela sam rezervnu odjeću.

00:40

This is the first outfitodijelo changepromijeniti on the TEDTED stagefaza,

8

24321

3649

Ovo je prvo presvlačenje na TED pozornici,

00:43

so you guys are prettyprilično luckysretan to witnesssvjedok it, I think.

9

27970

3046

pa smatram da
imate sreće biti svjedoci tome.

00:46

If some of the womenžene were really horrifiedužasnut when I camedošao out,

10

31016

2941

Ako su neke žene bile izuzetno
užasnute kada sam izašla,

00:49

you don't have to tell me now, but I'll find out laterkasnije on TwitterTwitter.

11

33957

2702

36659

5656

(Smijeh)

00:58

I'd alsotakođer noteBilješka that I'm quitedosta privilegedprivilegiran

13

42315

1821

Istaknula bih da imam privilegiju

01:00

to be ableu stanju to transformtransformirati what you think of me

14

44136

3139

promijeniti ono što mislite o meni

01:03

in a very briefkratak 10 secondssekundi.

15

47275

2663

u vrlo kratkih 10 sekundi.

01:05

Not everybodysvi getsdobiva to do that.

16

49938

3462

Ne dobije svatko priliku za to.

01:09

These heelspete are very uncomfortableneudoban,

17

53400

1645

Ove cipele su vrlo neudobne,

01:10

so good thing I wasn'tnije going to wearnositi them.

18

55045

4194

dobro da sam odlučila ne nositi ih.

01:15

The worstnajgori partdio is puttingstavljanje this sweaterdžemper over my headglava,

19

59239

1705

Najgora stvar je oblačenje pulovera,

01:16

because that's when you'llvi ćete all laughsmijeh at me,

20

60944

1320

jer ćete mi se tada smijati,

01:18

so don't do anything while it's over my headglava.

21

62264

4966

pa nemojte ništa
raditi dok mi je preko glave.

01:23

All right.

22

67230

3413

U redu.

01:26

So why did I do that?

23

70643

3071

Zašto sam to napravila?

01:29

That was awkwardneugodno.

24

73714

2598

Bilo je čudno.

01:32

Well,

25

76312

4109

Dakle,

01:36

hopefullynadajmo se not as awkwardneugodno as that pictureslika.

26

80421

4418

nadam se, ne toliko čudno kao ova slika.

01:40

ImageSlika is powerfulsnažan,

27

84839

3249

Slika je moćna,

01:43

but alsotakođer imageslika is superficialpovršan.

28

88088

4948

ali je i površna.

01:48

I just totallypotpuno transformedpretvara what you thought of me in sixšest secondssekundi.

29

93036

4443

Upravo sam promijenila
što ste mislili o meni u 6 sekundi.

01:53

And in this pictureslika,

30

97479

1839

A na ovoj slici,

01:55

I had actuallyzapravo never had a boyfrienddečko in realstvaran life.

31

99318

2744

nisam zapravo nikad u životu imala dečka.

01:57

I was totallypotpuno uncomfortableneudoban, and the photographerfotograf

32

102062

2512

Bilo mi je zaista neugodno,
i fotograf mi je ponavljao

02:00

was tellingreći me to archluk my back and put my handruka

33

104574

2421

da svinem leđa i stavim ruku

02:02

in that guy'stip je hairdlaka.

34

106995

4018

u kosu ovog dečka.

02:06

And of coursenaravno, barringosim surgerykirurgija,

35

111013

2000

I naravno, osim operacije,

02:08

or the fakelažan tanTan that I got two daysdana agoprije for work,

36

113013

3441

ili umjetnog tamnjenja zbog
posla od prije dva dana,

02:12

there's very little that we can do to transformtransformirati how we look,

37

116454

3761

jako malo možemo učiniti kako
bismo promijenili vlastiti izgled,

02:16

and how we look, thoughiako it is superficialpovršan and immutablenepromjenjivi,

38

120215

3456

a kako izgledamo,
iako je površno i nepromijenjivo,

02:19

has a hugeogroman impactudar on our livesživot.

39

123671

4363

uvelike utječe na naš život.

02:23

So todaydanas, for me, beingbiće fearlessneustrašivi meanssredstva beingbiće honestpošten.

40

128034

4628

Tako danas, za mene,
biti neustrašiva znači biti iskrena.

02:28

And I am on this stagefaza because I am a modelmodel.

41

132662

2885

Nalazim se na ovoj pozornici
zato što sam model.

02:31

I am on this stagefaza because I am a prettyprilično, whitebijela womanžena,

42

135547

3727

Nalazim se na ovoj pozornici
zato što sam lijepa, bjelkinja,

02:35

and in my industryindustrija we call that a sexyseksi girldjevojka.

43

139274

2765

a u mojoj industriji
to zovemo seksi curom.

02:37

And I'm going to answerodgovor the questionspitanja that people always askpitati me,

44

142039

2514

I odgovorit ću vam na pitanja
koja meni ljudi uvijek postavljaju,

02:40

but with an honestpošten twisttwist.

45

144553

1679

ali s potpunom iskrenošću.

02:42

So the first questionpitanje is, how do you becomepostati a modelmodel?

46

146232

2902

Prvo pitanje jest: kako postati model?

02:45

And I always just say, "Oh, I was scoutedradela," but that meanssredstva nothing.

47

149134

2802

I ja uvijek kažem:
" Pronašli su me", ali to ništa ne znači.

02:47

The realstvaran way that I becamepostao a modelmodel is

48

151936

3518

Pravi razlog što sam postala model je taj

02:51

I wonwon a geneticgenetski lotterylutrija, and I am the recipientprimatelj of a legacynasljedstvo,

49

155454

3487

što sam osvojila na lutriji
u genetici, i ja sam nasljednica,

02:54

and maybe you're wonderingpitate what is a legacynasljedstvo.

50

158941

1863

a možda se pitate što je nasljedstvo.

02:56

Well, for the pastprošlost fewnekoliko centuriesstoljeća

51

160804

3003

Dakle, unazad nekoliko stoljeća

02:59

we have defineddefiniran beautyljepota not just as healthzdravlje and youthmladež

52

163807

5518

definiramo ljepotu ne samo
kao zdravlje i mladost

03:05

and symmetrysimetrija that we're biologicallybiološki programmedprogramiran to admirediviti se,

53

169325

3786

i simetriju kojoj smo biološki
predodređeni da se divimo,

03:09

but alsotakođer as tallvisok, slendervitko figuresfigure,

54

173111

3536

nego i kao visoke, vitke figure,

03:12

and femininityženstvenost and whitebijela skinkoža.

55

176647

3247

ženstvenost i bijelu kožu.

03:15

And this is a legacynasljedstvo that was builtizgrađen for me,

56

179894

1772

I to je nasljedstvo bilo predodređeno za mene,

03:17

and it's a legacynasljedstvo that I've been cashingblagajnik out on.

57

181666

2774

i na tom nasljedstvu zarađujem.

03:20

And I know there are people in the audiencepublika

58

184440

2054

Znam da su ovdje ljudi u publici

03:22

who are skepticalskeptičan at this pointtočka,

59

186494

1716

u ovom trenu skeptični,

03:24

and maybe there are some fashionistasfashionistas who are, like,

60

188210

1592

i možda je među vama nekoliko
modnih stručnjaka, koji će reći:

03:25

"Wait. NaomiNaomi. TyraTyra. JoanJoan SmallsSmalls. LiuLiu WenVen."

61

189802

3452

"Čekaj. Naomi. Tyra. Joan Smalls. Liu Wen."

03:29

And first, I commendpohvaliti you on your modelmodel knowledgeznanje. Very impressiveimpresivan.

62

193254

2592

Prvo, čestitke na modnom znanju.
Vrlo impresivno.

03:31

(LaughterSmijeh)

63

195846

2231

(Smijeh)

03:33

But unfortunatelynažalost I have to informobavijestiti you that in 2007,

64

198077

3553

Ali, nažalost, moram vas
obavijestiti da je 2007.

03:37

a very inspirednadahnut NYUJAVILO PhPH.D. studentstudent countedbroje

65

201630

2510

inspirirani doktorant NYU-a izbrojao

03:40

all the modelsmodeli on the runwaypista, everysvaki singlesingl one that was hiredzaposlen,

66

204140

3626

sve modele na pisti,
svaku koja je bila angažirana,

03:43

and of the 677 modelsmodeli that were hiredzaposlen,

67

207766

3128

i od 677 angažiranih modela,

03:46

only 27, or lessmanje than fourčetiri percentposto, were non-whiteNe-bijeli.

68

210894

4743

samo 27, ili manje od 4 posto,
su bile ne-bjelkinje.

03:51

The nextSljedeći questionpitanje people always askpitati me is,

69

215637

1551

Sljedeće pitanje koje me
ljudi uvijek pitaju jest:

03:53

"Can I be a modelmodel when I growrasti up?"

70

217188

1955

"Mogu li postati model kad odrastem?"

03:55

And the first answerodgovor is, "I don't know, they don't put me in chargenaplatiti of that."

71

219143

3404

Prvi odgovor jest:
"Ne znam, nisam odgovorna za to."

03:58

But the seconddrugi answerodgovor, and what I really want to say to these little girlsdjevojke is, "Why?

72

222547

5198

Ali drugi odgovor, i ono što zapravo
želim reći tim djevojčicama jest: "Zašto?

04:03

You know? You can be anything.

73

227745

1365

Znate? Možeš biti što poželiš.

04:05

You could be the PresidentPredsjednik of the UnitedUjedinjeni StatesDržava,

74

229110

1651

Možeš biti predsjednica SAD-a,

04:06

or the inventorizumitelj of the nextSljedeći InternetInternet,

75

230761

1446

ili izumitelj sljedećeg Interneta,

04:08

or a ninjaNinja cardio-thoracickardio-torakalne surgeonkirurg poetpjesnik,

76

232207

2956

ili nindža kardio-torakalni kirurg pjesnik,

04:11

whichkoji would be awesomesuper, because you'dti bi be the first one."

77

235163

2644

što bi bilo fenomenalno, jer bi bila prva."

04:13

(LaughterSmijeh)

78

237807

2233

(Smijeh)

04:15

If, after this amazingnevjerojatan listpopis, they still are like,

79

240040

2102

Ako su, nakon ovog
nevjerojatnog popisa, i dalje kao:

04:18

"No, no, CameronCameron, I want to be a modelmodel,"

80

242142

1507

"Ne, Cameron, želim biti model",

04:19

well then I say, "Be my bossšef."

81

243649

2316

onda im kažem, "Budi mi šef".

04:21

Because I'm not in chargenaplatiti of anything,

82

245965

1266

Zato što ja nisam glavna,

04:23

and you could be the editorurednik in chiefglavni of AmericanAmerički Vogue"Vogue"

83

247231

2176

a ti bi mogla biti urednica američkog Voguea

04:25

or the CEOIZVRŠNI DIREKTOR of H&M, or the nextSljedeći StevenSteven MeiselMeisel.

84

249407

3624

ili glavna izvršna direktorica
H&M-a, ili sljedeći Steven Meisel.

04:28

SayingIzreka that you want to be a modelmodel when you growrasti up

85

253031

1921

Kad kažeš da želiš biti model kad odrasteš

04:30

is akinsrodan to sayingizreka that you want to winpobijediti the PowerballPowerball when you growrasti up.

86

254952

3194

je kao da kažeš da želiš
osvojiti Powerball kad odrasteš.

04:34

It's out of your controlkontrolirati, and it's awesomesuper,

87

258146

4092

To ne možeš kontrolirati, i to je predivno,

04:38

and it's not a careerkarijera pathstaza.

88

262238

1585

ali nije karijera.

04:39

I will demonstratepokazati for you now 10 yearsgodina of accumulatedakumulirana modelmodel knowledgeznanje,

89

263823

4484

Sada ću vam demonstrirati znanje
modela prikupljeno u posljednjih 10 godina,

04:44

because unlikeza razliku od cardio-thoracickardio-torakalne surgeonskirurzi,

90

268307

1766

koje, za razliku od kardio kirurga,

04:45

it can just be distilleddestiliran right into -- right now.

91

270073

2889

se može prenijeti u -- ovaj trenutak.

04:48

So if the photographerfotograf is right there

92

272962

3186

Ako se fotograf nalazi tamo,

04:52

and the lightsvjetlo is right there, like a nicelijepo HMIHMI,

93

276148

1897

a svjetla su ondje,

04:53

and the clientklijent sayskaže, "CameronCameron, we want a walkinghodanje shotšut,"

94

278045

1622

i klijent kaže: "Želimo te uslikati u hodu",

04:55

well then this legnoga goeside first, nicelijepo and long, this armruka goeside back, this armruka goeside forwardnaprijed,

95

279667

3504

onda ova noga ide prva, lijepo i dugo,
ova ruka ide iza, ova naprijed,

04:59

the headglava is at threetri quartersčetvrtine, and you just go back and forthdalje,

96

283171

2593

glava je malo zakrenuta,
a ti ideš naprijed-nazad,

05:01

just do that, and then you look back at your imaginaryimaginarni friendsprijatelji,

97

285764

2390

tako, i gledaš prema
svojim zamišljenim prijateljima,

05:04

300, 400, 500 timesputa. (LaughterSmijeh)

98

288154

5265

300, 400, 500 puta. (Smijeh)

05:09

It will look something like this. (LaughterSmijeh)

99

293419

4123

Izgleda nešto poput ovoga. (Smijeh)

05:13

HopefullyNadam se da lessmanje awkwardneugodno than that one in the middlesrednji.

100

297542

2211

Možda manje neobično nego ova u sredini.

05:15

That was, I don't know what happeneddogodilo there.

101

299753

3215

To je, ne znam što se tu dogodilo.

05:18

UnfortunatelyNažalost after you've goneotišao to schoolškola,

102

302968

1892

Nažalost, nakon škole,

05:20

and you have a résumiznosé and you've doneučinio a fewnekoliko jobsposlovi,

103

304860

1272

imaš životopis, neke poslove,

05:22

you can't say anything anymoreviše,

104

306132

1554

i ne možeš više ništa reći.

05:23

so if you say you want to be the PresidentPredsjednik of the UnitedUjedinjeni StatesDržava,

105

307686

3742

Ako kažeš da želiš biti predsjednik SAD-a,

05:27

but your résumiznosé readsčita, "UnderwearDonje rublje ModelModela: 10 yearsgodina,"

106

311428

2200

a u životopisu piše:
"Model za donje rublje: 10 godina",

05:29

people give you a funnysmiješno look.

107

313628

1792

ljudi te čudno gledaju.

05:31

The nextSljedeći questionpitanje people always askpitati me is, "Do they retouchretuširanje all the photosfotografije?"

108

315420

2692

Sljedeće što me ljudi uvijek
pitaju: "Obrade li sve fotografije?"

05:34

And yeah, they prettyprilično much retouchretuširanje all the photosfotografije,

109

318112

1621

Da, retuširaju gotovo sve fotke,

05:35

but that is only a smallmali componentsastavni dio of what's happeningdogađa.

110

319733

3950

ali to je samo mali dio svega što se događa.

05:39

This pictureslika is the very first pictureslika that I ever tookuzeo,

111

323683

2764

Ovo je prva slika koju sam napravila,

05:42

and it's alsotakođer the very first time that I had wornnosi a bikinikupaci kostim,

112

326447

2796

i to je prvi puta da sam
imala obučeni kupaći kostim,

05:45

and I didn't even have my periodrazdoblje yetjoš.

113

329243

1842

a nisam još imala ni mjesečnicu.

05:46

I know we're gettinguzimajući personalosobni, but

114

331085

1929

Znam da je ovo osobno,

05:48

I was a youngmladi girldjevojka.

115

333014

1521

ali, bila sam mlada djevojka.

05:50

This is what I lookedgledao like with my grandmabaka just a fewnekoliko monthsmjeseci earlierranije.

116

334535

3865

Ovako sam izgledala nekoliko
mjeseci prije sa svojom bakom.

05:54

Here'sOvdje je me on the sameisti day as this shootpucati.

117

338400

2731

Ovo sam ja tog istog dana
kada je bilo snimanje.

05:57

oni su to sagradili. To nisam ja.

06:25

Okay, so the nextSljedeći questionpitanje people always askpitati me is,

129

369206

2141

Sljedeće pitanje koje me ljudi uvijek pitaju:

06:27

"Do you get freebesplatno stuffstvari?"

130

371347

2661

"Dobivaš li besplatne stvari?"

06:29

I do have too manymnogi 8-inch-palac heelspete whichkoji I never get to wearnositi,

131

374008

3437

Imam previše cipela na petu od
20 centimetara koje nikada ne nosim,

06:33

exceptosim for earlierranije,

132

377445

1619

osim one od maloprije,

06:34

but the freebesplatno stuffstvari that I get

133

379064

2048

ali besplatne stvari koje dobijem

06:37

is the freebesplatno stuffstvari that I get in realstvaran life, and that's what we don't like to talk about.

134

381112

3370

su stvari koje dobijem u stvarnom životu,
a to je ono o čemu ne želimo pričati.

06:40

I grewrastao up in CambridgeCambridge,

135

384482

1612

Odrasla sam u Cambridge-u,

06:41

and one time I wentotišao into a storedućan and I forgotzaboravio my moneynovac

136

386094

2365

i kad sam jednom otišla u trgovinu,
zaboravila sam uzeti novac sa sobom

06:44

and they gavedali me the dresshaljina for freebesplatno.

137

388459

2363

i dali su mu haljinu besplatno.

06:46

When I was a teenagertinejdžer, I was drivingvožnja with my friendprijatelj

138

390822

2520

Kada sam bila tinejdžer,
vozila sam se s prijateljicom

06:49

who was an awfulgrozan drivervozač and she ranran a redcrvena and of coursenaravno,

139

393342

1865

koja je bila loš vozač i
prošla je kroz crveno.

06:51

we got pulledizvukao over,

140

395207

2039

Policija nas je zaustavila

06:53

and all it tookuzeo was a "Sorry, officerčasnik,"

141

397246

2286

i sve što je bilo potrebno
jest: "Oprostite policajče",

06:55

and we were on our way.

142

399532

2386

i mogle smo nastaviti dalje.

06:57

And I got these freebesplatno things because of how I look,

143

401918

3651

Sve ove besplatne stvari
dobila sam zbog izgleda,

07:01

not who I am, and there are people payingplaćati a costcijena

144

405569

2819

ne zbog toga toga što sam,
a postoje ljudi koji plaćaju cijenu

07:04

for how they look and not who they are.

145

408388

2242

zbog toga kako izgledaju,
a ne zbog toga kakvi s.

07:06

I liveživjeti in NewNovi YorkYork, and last yeargodina,

146

410630

1586

Živim u New Yorku, i prošle godine,

07:08

of the 140,000 teenagerstinejdžeri that were stoppedprestao and friskedfrisked,

147

412216

3861

od 140 000 tinejdžera
koji su bili zaustavljeni i pretreseni,

07:11

86 percentposto of them were blackcrno and LatinoLatino,

148

416077

2184

86 posto njih bili su
crnačkog i latino podrijetla,

07:14

and mostnajviše of them were youngmladi menmuškarci.

149

418261

1855

te su većina bili mladi muškarci.

07:16

And there are only 177,000 youngmladi blackcrno and LatinoLatino menmuškarci in NewNovi YorkYork,

150

420116

4486

A u New Yorku ih je samo 177 000

07:20

so for them, it's not a questionpitanje of, "Will I get stoppedprestao?"

151

424602

2701

pa za njih nije upitno: "Hoće li me zaustaviti?",

07:23

but "How manymnogi timesputa will I get stoppedprestao? When will I get stoppedprestao?"

152

427303

2895

nego: "Koliko puta će me zaustaviti?
Kada će me zaustaviti?"

07:26

When I was researchingistraživanje this talk,

153

430198

1426

Kada sam istraživala za ovaj govor,

07:27

I foundpronađeno out that of the 13-year-old-godinu star girlsdjevojke in the UnitedUjedinjeni StatesDržava,

154

431624

3574

saznala sam da
trinaestogodišnje djevojčice u SAD-u,

07:31

53 percentposto don't like theirnjihov bodiestjelesa,

155

435198

2688

53 posto njih ne vole svoje tijelo,

07:33

and that numberbroj goeside to 78 percentposto by the time that they're 17.

156

437886

3850

i taj se broj penje na 78 posto
kada dođu u dob od 17 godina.

07:37

So the last questionpitanje people askpitati me is,

157

441736

3382

I posljednje pitanje koje me ljudi pitaju:

07:41

"What is it like to be a modelmodel?"

158

445118

1016

"Kako je to biti model?"

07:42

And I think the answerodgovor that they're looking for is,

159

446134

2800

Mislim da je odgovor koji traže ovaj:

07:44

"If you are a little bitbit skinniermršaviji and you have shiniersjajnija hairdlaka,

160

448934

2944

Da si barem malo mršavija
i imaš malo sjajniju kosu,

07:47

you will be so happysretan and fabulousnevjerojatan."

161

451878

2797

bila bi tako sretna i nevjerojatna."

07:50

And when we're backstageiza bine, we give an answerodgovor

162

454675

2115

I kada smo u backstageu dajemo odgovor

07:52

that maybe makesmarke it seemčiniti se like that.

163

456790

1435

koji možda zvuči da je tako.

07:54

We say, "It's really amazingnevjerojatan to travelputovati,

164

458225

2597

Kažemo: "Zaista je divno putovati,

07:56

and it's amazingnevjerojatan to get to work with creativekreativan, inspirednadahnut, passionatestrasan people."

165

460822

4087

i uzbudljivo je raditi s kreativnim,
nadahnjujućim i strastvenim ljudima."

08:00

And those things are truepravi, but they're only one halfpola of the storypriča,

166

464909

3046

Sve je to istina, ali to je samo dio priče,

08:03

because the thing that we never say on camerafotoaparat,

167

467955

2723

ono što nikad ne kažemo ispred kamera,

08:06

that I have never said on camerafotoaparat,

168

470678

2096

što ja nikada nisam rekla pred kamerama,

08:08

is, "I am insecurenesiguran."

169

472774

2384

jest: "Ja sam nesigurna."

08:11

And I'm insecurenesiguran because I have to think about

170

475158

1454

A nesigurna sam zato što moram razmišljati

08:12

what I look like everysvaki day.

171

476612

2925

kako izgledam svaki dan.

08:15

And if you ever are wonderingpitate,

172

479537

4059

I ako se ikada pitate:

08:19

"If I have thinnerTanja thighsbedra and shiniersjajnija hairdlaka, will I be happiersretniji?"

173

483596

3954

"Da imam mršavije noge i
sjaniju kosu, bih li bila sretnija?"

08:23

you just need to meetsastati a groupskupina of modelsmodeli,

174

487550

1631

samo morate upoznati skupinu modela,

08:25

because they have the thinnestMršavost thighsbedra and the shiniestnajsjajniji hairdlaka and the coolestzgodnih clothesodjeća,

175

489181

2633

jer oni imaju najmršavije noge i
najsjaniju kosu i odličnu odjeću,

08:27

and they're the mostnajviše physicallytjelesno insecurenesiguran womenžene probablyvjerojatno on the planetplaneta.

176

491814

4982

a najvjerojatnije su psihički
najnesigurnije osobe na svijetu.

08:32

So when I was writingpisanje this talk, I foundpronađeno it very difficulttežak

177

496796

2258

Kada sam pisala ovaj govor bilo mi je jako teško

08:34

to strikeštrajk an honestpošten balanceravnoteža, because on the one handruka,

178

499054

2893

biti iskrena, jer, s jedne strane,

08:37

I feltosjećala very uncomfortableneudoban to come out here and say,

179

501947

2960

osjećala sam se veoma
nelagodno doći ovdje i reći:

08:40

"Look I've receivedprimljen all these benefitsprednosti from a deckpaluba stackedsloženi in my favormilost,"

180

504907

3567

"Gledajte, primila sam sve ove povlastice
jer su se karte posložile u moju korist",

08:44

and it alsotakođer feltosjećala really uncomfortableneudoban to followslijediti that up with,

181

508474

3148

i bilo mi je neugodno nastaviti ovako:

08:47

"and it doesn't always make me happysretan."

182

511622

2789

"i to me ne usrećuje uvijek".

08:50

But mostlyuglavnom it was difficulttežak to unpackRaspakirajte a legacynasljedstvo

183

514411

3515

Ali najteže mi je bilo raspakirati nasljeđe

08:53

of genderrod and racialrasni oppressionugnjetavanje

184

517926

2384

spolne i rasne potlačenosti

08:56

when I am one of the biggestnajveći beneficiarieskorisnici.

185

520310

2888

kada sam ja jedna od glavnih korisnika.

08:59

But I'm alsotakođer happysretan and honoredčast mi je to be up here

186

523198

3105

Također sam sretna i počašćena što sam ovdje

09:02

and I think that it's great that I got to come

187

526303

3236

i smatram da je sjajno što sam došla

09:05

before 10 or 20 or 30 yearsgodina had passedprošao and I'd had more agencyagencija in my careerkarijera,

188

529539

3697

prije nego što je prošlo 10, 20 ili 30 godina
kada bih imala još više agencija u karijeri,

09:09

because maybe then I wouldn'tne bi tell the storypriča of how I got my first jobposao,

189

533236

3498

jer, možda tada ne bih pričala o svom prvom poslu,

09:12

or maybe I wouldn'tne bi tell the storypriča of how I paidplaćen for collegekoledž,

190

536734

2438

ili kako sam plaćala školovanje,

09:15

whichkoji seemsčini se so importantvažno right now.

191

539172

2882

što mi se sada čini veoma važnim.

09:17

If there's a takeawaytakeaway to this talk, I hopenada it's that

192

542054

2347

Ako ima poanta u ovom govoru, nadam se da je to

09:20

we all feel more comfortableudobno acknowledgingPriznajući

193

544401
