hey yes yeah hey take it faster with more energy with more feeling one more fire you can have a seat thank you so very much just turn to your neighbor and give them high five and tell them we made it you look great turn to your other neighbor and tell them you look great you look great with a smile come on guys we are not talking about anything economics no impact things no no no no just breathe breathe breathe we are here to breathe yeah my name is hope and it comes with a purpose it comes with an intention i was named hope because i was born and raised as a refugee and because my father was hopeless he named me hope so all kids born at around my time i was born and raised in Uganda that's i was born so all children born around my time have names that their parents never had and they have names like name them joy hope faith happiness come on add on your names anything that you feel like you don't have anything positive patience charity peace guys you don't have any good things any good words there that's what they named us so i have come to believe the power of words because i am i don't know a radical optimistic person like i believe things will happen regardless of the circumstances we're in there is a window for things to happen right do you believe the same or you're always like hi don't know how are you you know i don't know but this is how my mother raised me up she raised me up reminding me that i was born to plant seeds of hope joy and peace and love those are the that's my mission on earth and regardless of the circumstances i've gone through that's what i believe it should be and i believe in that and i am that and i am that the amazing power of words really comes to me strongly when i looked at the theme of this conference i just picked two words i don't know what words you picked but for me this word speed trust hey how do you speed trust something cannot go in the shop and buy like a painkiller how do you speed trust people tell me how do you speed trust by trusting but what blocks you from trusting fear and at what point did the door open to invite that into our into your heart i don't know but we all have our times when those doors open if if mistrust was a person and then a door opens and this person walks in your heart and takes legal residence two years one week four weeks ten years becomes generational 50 years you die and pass it on to another generation and another generation passes on this same thing to another generation what happened silence is so loud at what point did you open a door or when a door got when a door was open and there was an invitation of this guest into your heart supposing your heart was a house and there's this guest in that one of the rooms in your heart at one at what point do you have the courage to first this guest and say one you know what enough is enough out of my house and this is all what we do we just need to kick this guest out once you know that you're dining with this guest for christmas your birthday you have this guest you got with friends to play you still have this guest which guest is has become chronicle at one point i was working on a documentary in randa called forgiveness and justice and i had to interview a perpetrator whose name was emanuel nice name emanuel this perpetrator was manipulated to kill children he killed children of his neighbors why because it was stressed out it it it's all traced back to coronialists came and gave us identities bra bra bra bra bra anyway nothing ever just finds why a 30-year-old man would kill a baby not strong enough to fight him back when a baby is when you slap a baby they smile at you and when you try to kill them they think you're making a mistake and they smile back then they die smiling because it's dead in it's it's innocent eliminated so emanuel served his sentence but there was a woman on that same hill called Beatrice Beatrice's husband had been killed in the swamp nearby their home on that hill these are the amazing stories you find in randa but there was an urgency for reconciliation there was an urgency to forgive but how can you forgive someone if you cannot trust them but his stories read amazing after he served his sentences came back to on a journey to go and ask Beatrice forgiveness but Beatrice could not trust him so he started looking for ways and how Beatrice can trust him so he pretended one day every time he approached Beatrice to go and ask for forgiveness Beatrice fainted or got traumatized or had to be carried to a hospital she faced all these things because he had killed three of her children but he still had the courage to go and tell him and tell her forgive me because he had been forgiven by the community had written letters to his to all the people in that village to forgive him they had forgiven him but man manua was facing a problem of not forgiving himself and he says every month of apple i hide and cry because the voices with the children i killed tell me don't kill me so he tried several times to make an attempt to go and ask for forgiveness and i think on the fifth day he he went pretended that was asking for something else not for forgiveness he said it's something small not for forgiveness so he went and asked for Beatrice for beans to cook and Beatrice gave him beans to go and cook but when he took beans home he could not trust whether these beans were okay so he thought maybe these beans now who is suffering with mistrust who is mistrust who is not trusting who said ah Beatrice these beans could be poisoned if i cook them i could die so he threw away the beans because he couldn't trust the woman he had killed for if he had shed really given beans that are not poisoned so on the sixth day he goes now to ask for forgiveness but Beatrice asks him i'll believe you if you come with your family but remember manua had served all his sentence without his children knowing he had killed or whatever crime he had done only his wife knew so this is one generation suffer not to being told the truth so it's not until Beatrice told told manua if you come with your children and with your whole family and you with your wife then i'll believe you you're asking me for forgiveness so now he had to go through the torment of telling his children what he had done so he had to tell them the truth and now the children started started looking at their father as a murderer but again they love his father they love their father so he got his children and his wife went to Beatrice to ask for forgiveness and that's the time he was forgiven he was forgiven but look at what he went through to ask for forgiveness and i don't know the kind of trust we're also suffering i don't know what does open in our own lives to open this kind of those that invite these unwanted guests in our hearts and for me it's very important that we always have to look at much as we are talking about to many and about projects what's the need to know where is this seed being planted are we informing ourselves enough for for instance like do we know that in a in a in a country that has failed there are two pathways to violence and the pathway to healing the pathway to violence has ten stages the ninth stage is dehumanization when you strip me the jacket of humanity and you don't see me in your eyes and you don't see me as a person then i'm no longer human when you start calling me names as cockroach or snake or whatever it is i don't know and these things these behaviors begin in school but when a country reaches that stage of the stage nine the next step is a failed state but when there's a will to embrace the pathway to healing there is number five which i love most which is empathy and that's what my first of our lives i am because you are you are because i am my pain today could be a pain tomorrow so these are the kind of things we address every other day of our lives and i just want you to hold this space right now and before i can read you my nice poem which i think is very nice i would love you to just touch your heart and close your eyes and let this heart that you're touching is a house and in that house is unwanted guest that was given an invitation at some point in your life either when you're a child or yesterday or even today grab this guest in your in your palm bring your hand forward your hand forward in a fist like this you're holding them and let's bring this other hand and let's like start mashing this this energy this energy like mash it like go like i want to hear this noise i want to hear this noise and let's start like crashing it like like rain like rain like rain and we are going to hit it like thunder one two three go go i hope this helps i hope you feel free do you feel something like freedom freedom sometimes people think freedom is the flag but freedom is here when you go back and lie on your bed and face the wall up that's where freedom lies the conversation you're having we've got some work to do on our inner universe we've got some inner work to do and i urge you and call upon your your courage to face the truth however painful it may be to just tap on that cause it destroys it's a cancer you work up one morning and everything around you just looks bad because there's something still holding you there i know that the festival iran takes place at kigali jino side memorial there are 250 000 people buried there and i look to the most craziest person to carry to do a festival in this space but there was a reason can we do a festival in a space where there's loud silence why you can walk out of a performance without clapping but at least walk out thinking can we think can we reflect can we go through a process of introspection okay now the poem is here i don't want you to feel like sad sad sad or anything i'm going to read this poem uh this poem when i was the festival i'm just talking about when it was about three weeks to this festival i lost my mother she was my everything my energy my prayer warrior my everything like my cheer and my everything so but ha ha growing up in all the refugee camps she was she was she was working in she encouraged us not ever to be sad to always tap on the inner child that we hold and we play like a child i don't know how many times you play some people think playing is stupid but playing is innovation playfulness is creativity if you don't tap on that inner child and we close them with fear you don't create nothing but that child is good so i lost her three weeks before and my friends are now beginning to arrive in the country for the festival i went in my room i crashed on my bed i slept tears dried on my cheeks but i woke up to her voice saying these words to me and these are the words i want to leave you with yeah i have to add another pair of lenses run along and play head for the heels and play my child abide by your faith fear not to trip you are born to fly free your spirit float above just be and let be breathe the life of life by guns by by guns run and play trip and fly free your spirit breathe the life of life by guns by by guns run and play trip and fall roll and laugh stand and breathe run run run can we stand up and run i'm lying you just said i'll stop it today thank you so much
