like hearing loss, 12:39.300 --> 12:42.800 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% can distance older adults from community and family 12:42.800 --> 12:44.966 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% and hasten memory loss. 12:44.966 --> 12:47.000 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75% - When addressing mentation, 12:47.000 --> 12:50.966 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5% we identify, treat and manage memory loss 12:50.966 --> 12:53.633 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5% and mood disorders like depression 12:53.633 --> 12:56.800 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75% and other conditions that can lead to confusion. 12:56.800 --> 13:01.533 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - Therefore, it's critical to stay connected to be engaged, 13:01.533

13:05.700 --> 13:08.233 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% and to talk to a healthcare clinician 13:08.233 --> 13:09.600 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% if you're experiencing them. 13:27.933 --> 13:29.533 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% - Where have I been? 13:32.866 --> 13:33.700 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% Where am I? 13:38.700 --> 13:41.400 align:left

14:24.433 --> 14:28.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% what place this is, and all the skill I have, 14:28.933 --> 14:31.933 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% remembers, not

that's for sure, 15:19.333 --> 15:22.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% but I'm not retired, and I doubt I ever will be. 15:29.033 --> 15:32.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% Because of my husband's frontal temporal dementia, 15:32.333 --> 15:36.400 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% which was not discovered until he ruined our finances, 15:36.400 -->

always assumed we would retire out West 15:53.833 --> 15:56.033 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% to a ski resort or to Arizona 15:56.033 --> 15:57.733 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% where a lot of our friends winter. 16:00.033 --> 16:02.400 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% We would golf, we would ski, 16:04.100 --> 16:06.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and maybe we would even help out our three children. 16:08.233 --> 16:11.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% But instead, I found myself broke and alone, 16:12.566 --> 16:14.733

position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - A lot of times people get a picture of the pharmacists 34:09.800 --> 34:12.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% who count your pills behind the counter. 34:12.633 --> 34:14.466 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% They think of the pharmacy as a place 34:14.466 --> 34:16.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% where you just go to pick up your prescription, 34:16.533 --> 34:18.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% but there's so much more to it. 34:18.466 --> 34:19.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - So, if you

curiosity about drugs, medications, 34:27.000 --> 34:28.966 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% and the most interesting part, 34:28.966 --> 34:31.966 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% being a pharmacist is the interaction, 34:31.966 --> 34:33.833 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and I'm more of a people person. 34:33.833 --> 34:35.500 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% Well, have a wonderful day. 34:35.500 --> 34:36.700 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% - As a pharmacist, 34:36.700 --> 34:39.966 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65% it's one of the last healthcare professions 34:39.966 --> 34:42.466 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75% where we are so accessible to the public. 34:42.466 --> 34:43.966 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% - Yeah, but I've got some questions 34:43.966 --> 34:45.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% for you with this one. - Okay. 34:47.466 --> 34:49.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - Open this up so I can see what's in here. 34:49.833 --> 34:51.033 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% - Roughly about half 34:51.033 --> 34:53.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% of our patient base are elderly patients. 34:53.333 --> 34:57.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% We have to spend more time with our elderly patient 34:57.166 --> 34:59.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% to make sure that they get their prescription, 34:59.866 --> 35:03.233 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and making sure that what they are taking is accurate. 35:03.233 --> 35:05.533 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% And on top of that, they understand, 35:05.533 --> 35:06.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% that's the most important thing. 35:06.700 --> 35:07.900 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% So, you take one capsule 35:07.900 --> 35:10.700 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% by mouth 30 minutes before meal, okay? 35:10.700 --> 35:13.200 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - Medication therapy management is one of the roles 35:13.200 --> 35:15.400 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% that I have here as a pharmacist. 35:15.400 --> 35:18.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% It's a time where I can sit down with a patient 35:18.200 --> 35:21.200 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% and just thoroughly go through their medications. 35:21.200 --> 35:22.400 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% A lot of the people 35:22.400 --> 35:24.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that I end up doing these medication reviews 35:24.233 --> 35:27.400 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% with, they're 65 years of age and older. 35:27.400 --> 35:29.066 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - There's some elderly folks 35:29.066 --> 35:30.866 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% that they can't leave their home. 35:30.866 --> 35:34.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% If the patient allows, we always come and visit them 35:34.033 --> 35:37.033 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% and we find it very effective. 35:37.033 --> 35:39.400 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% One is being compliant, 35:39.400 --> 35:42.766 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% second is, it just brings a lot of satisfaction. 35:44.733 --> 35:48.066 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - A lot of these people end up being on many medications, 35:48.066 --> 35:49.600 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% at that point in their life. 35:49.600 --> 35:52.200 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% So, it's just a time that I can sit down with them. 35:52.200 --> 35:54.866 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% So, this one is for your diabetes, okay? 35:54.866 --> 35:57.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% And look specifically for side effects 35:57.433 --> 36:00.033 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and interactions and precautions 36:00.033 --> 36:01.600 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% that I wanna go over with them. 36:03.633 --> 36:06.500 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% - When we see our patient that come, 36:06.500 --> 36:08.600 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% they've seen like multiple doctors, 36:08.600 --> 36:11.000 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% we make sure that they get the right treatment. 36:11.000 --> 36:14.633 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% So, we make sure these drugs are not overlapping. 36:16.133 --> 36:20.133 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - A lot of times because they have gotten to an older age, 36:20.133 --> 36:22.300 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% they tend to be on medications 36:22.300 --> 36:24.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% that they've just always been on. 36:24.433 --> 36:26.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% Doesn't mean that it's a medication 36:26.266 --> 36:28.266 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% that they should be on anymore. 36:28.266 --> 36:30.766 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% So, I try to look through all of their medications 36:30.766 --> 36:33.766 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% and see if there's anything that can be taken out 36:33.766 --> 36:37.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and work with the doctors to de-prescribe. 36:37.300 --> 36:38.800 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% If I do something like that, 36:38.800 --> 36:41.300 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% it's going to make it so that there are less side effects, 36:41.300 --> 36:44.466 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% less interactions and less things to kind of worry 36:44.466 --> 36:45.800 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% about for them. 36:45.800 --> 36:47.633 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% Go ahead and take a look at these things 36:47.633 --> 36:49.766 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% and just make sure that they're all good together. 36:49.766 --> 36:51.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - Sounds good. - We can check out too. 36:51.633 --> 36:55.600 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% As we age, one of the things that can happen is, 36:55.600 --> 36:59.100 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% it can almost turn into like a prescribing cascade. 36:59.100 --> 37:00.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% So, maybe someone will be started 37:00.933 --> 37:05.066 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% on a particular medication for a specific disease state, 37:05.066 --> 37:08.733 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% and then they might have a side effect. 37:08.733 --> 37:12.833 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5% Sometimes, the doctor will actually treat those side effects 37:12.833 --> 37:14.666 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% as though it's another condition. 37:16.000 --> 37:18.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% And you end up with a situation called polypharmacy, 37:18.333 --> 37:22.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% which is basically when someone is on several medications. 37:22.333 --> 37:23.500 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% - And you're gonna do your left arm? 37:23.500 --> 37:24.700 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% - Yeah, yeah. 37:24.700 --> 37:26.366 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% - There's so much joy and satisfaction 37:26.366 --> 37:27.666 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% in being a pharmacist. 37:27.666 --> 37:29.333 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% And one of the biggest things 37:29.333 --> 37:33.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that I love is being able to actually see a problem, 37:33.533 --> 37:35.533 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% address the problem with the patient, 37:35.533 --> 37:36.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% and to be able to work with them, 37:36.833 --> 37:39.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% to be able to get to where they feel better. 37:39.366 --> 37:40.666 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% That would kind of help figure out 37:40.666 --> 37:42.000 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% why you're having some of these side effects 37:42.000 --> 37:43.833 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% that we talked about before. 37:43.833 --> 37:47.500 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - Dealing with your elderly patient is the most joyful. 37:47.500 --> 37:51.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% They bring smile to you, the most kindest people. 37:51.000 --> 37:53.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% And every time you bring their medication, 37:53.200 --> 37:55.833 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% either you deliver or they come and pick it up, 37:55.833 --> 37:57.700 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% they always come with smile. 37:57.700 --> 38:01.433 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% And I feel privileged helping the elderly patient, 38:01.433 --> 38:04.466 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% getting their medication, and getting the right treatment. 38:07.100 --> 38:11.966 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5% - Finally, we come to what matters, the most important M. 38:11.966 --> 38:14.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% The goal of understanding what matters is 38:14.566 --> 38:18.400 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% to enjoy life as much and as fully as possible, 38:18.400 --> 38:21.233 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% the way you want to enjoy it. 38:21.233 --> 38:23.100 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - When we know what matters, 38:23.100 --> 38:24.733 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% we can better align care 38:24.733 --> 38:28.233 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% with each older adult's specific health outcome goals 38:28.233 --> 38:30.133 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% and care preferences. 38:30.133 --> 38:32.066 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% This includes, but is not limited 38:32.066 --> 38:34.233 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% to things like end of life care. 38:34.233 --> 38:36.900 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% - For example, a patient may choose 38:36.900 --> 38:38.433 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% to give up independent living 38:38.433 --> 38:40.733 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% and move into the home of their son, 38:40.733 --> 38:42.300 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% because living near their family 38:42.300 --> 38:45.766 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% and receiving care for them is what matters to them. 38:45.766 --> 38:47.766 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% - Another patient might choose 38:47.766 --> 38:50.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% to forego surgery or treatment for a condition 38:50.966 --> 38:53.400 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% because the most important thing for them, 38:53.400 --> 38:56.600 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% might be quality of life, not quantity of life. 38:56.600 --> 38:59.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - We can't stress enough how important it is 38:59.433 --> 39:01.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% to have conversations with your loved ones 39:01.833 --> 39:03.633 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% and your clinicians. 39:03.633 --> 39:07.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Please, make

41:27.066 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% Don't make him move to town. 41:29.700 --> 41:33.866 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% There is more to tragedy than dying. 41:33.866 --> 41:36.400 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% (gentle music) 42:09.833 --> 42:13.100 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - Anyone who spends a lot of time in their garden or farm, 42:13.100 --> 42:15.100 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% whatever or out in nature, 42:15.100 --> 42:19.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and see the cycles that we're on a cycle too. 42:19.000 --> 42:21.133 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% And so, we are in, I don't think, 42:21.133 --> 42:24.100 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% it's not the autumn of our lives or closer to the, 42:24.100 --> 42:26.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% coming to winter, but that's okay. 42:26.266 --> 42:30.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% - Kind of mid to late fall is where we are. 42:34.766 --> 42:37.300 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5% - Part of my artistic journey is that I love to read. 42:37.300 --> 42:41.500 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% And from reading, I've dreamed about becoming a writer. 42:42.633 --> 42:46.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% - I was born into this family of artists. 42:46.766 --> 42:51.766 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% I was encouraged to follow my passions in art and nature, 42:54.100 --> 42:59.000 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and have been drawing for the last almost 70 years. 43:05.166 --> 43:07.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% I describe myself as a visual artist, 43:07.500 --> 43:09.066 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% creating artwork that you have 43:09.066 --> 43:12.666 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% to see to experience many times though to feel. 43:14.166 --> 43:19.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - I love to incorporate aspects of nature in my writing. 43:20.533 --> 43:21.866 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% I have a garden, and I spent a lot of time there, 43:21.866 --> 43:25.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% and so the writing process, to me, 43:25.200 --> 43:29.500 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% mirrors the process of the earth, the germination, 43:29.500 --> 43:31.400 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% and the caring for. 43:31.400 --> 43:34.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - We met, I'm not gonna say the year, 'cause. 43:34.866 --> 43:36.066 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% (both laugh) 43:36.066 --> 43:37.866 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - I can remember vaguely. 43:37.866 --> 43:39.900 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% (both laugh) 43:39.900 --> 43:43.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% - We met at one of the first meetings 43:43.033 --> 43:47.000 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% of an organization of African American journalists. 43:47.000 --> 43:50.866 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% It was a group of artists like myself. 43:50.866 --> 43:53.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I thought the revolution was going to happen almost 43:53.533 --> 43:56.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% in the next week after we met, but-- 43:58.333 --> 44:00.400 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - I never thought it was. - No, she didn't, but I did, 44:00.400 --> 44:02.600 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% and we became friends. 44:02.600 --> 44:07.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% So, we have been working in collaboration now 44:07.133 --> 44:12.133 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% for over 30 years and creating these pieces 44:13.600 --> 44:15.233 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% that have text in them, 44:15.233 --> 44:17.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% that Soyini composes the text for. 44:18.766 --> 44:20.766 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% Working with Ta-coumba Aiken, 44:20.766 --> 44:24.733 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% we decided to create these pieces 44:24.733 --> 44:29.600 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% that would be embedded in the sidewalk on Nicollet Mall, 44:29.600 --> 44:34.600 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% that would tell these stories of these folks 44:35.233 --> 44:35.766 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% who came before. 44:37.266 --> 44:42.100 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% In a way, it was our way of acknowledging the ancestors. 44:44.633 --> 44:46.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% Ta-coumba and I created the forms 44:46.766 --> 44:49.233 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% and Soyini created the text, 44:49.233 --> 44:53.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% and we followed kind of the same path when 44:53.433 --> 44:56.266 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% we were commissioned to create the piece 44:56.266 --> 44:58.733 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. 45:00.733 --> 45:04.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% You know, all these shadows that we created, 45:04.133 --> 45:09.133 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% allow folks to be able the stand in the shadows 45:09.833 --> 45:12.366 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% of our ancestors. 45:13.800 --> 45:18.666 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% We also collaborated on a poem on the Dale Street stop, 45:21.000 --> 45:26.000 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% that's almost an ode to this neighborhood. 45:27.333 --> 45:29.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - It's really the public part of public art, 45:29.833 --> 45:31.866 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% that's really intriguing to me. 45:31.866 --> 45:34.466 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% It's public and people can read it for free, 45:34.466 --> 45:37.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and hopefully, if they read it, 45:37.700 --> 45:40.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% then it resonates in some level with them. 45:43.000 --> 45:45.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% - Nah, I forgot what I was gonna say. 45:45.300 --> 45:47.333 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% (both laugh) 45:47.333 --> 45:52.133 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% Now, you know, that has nothing to do with aging. 45:52.133 --> 45:55.966 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% You know, I was complaining one time to my mother. 45:55.966 --> 45:58.200 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% I said, "Mom, I'm starting to lose my memory." 45:58.200 --> 45:59.666 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% And she said, "Oh, you've been like 45:59.666 --> 46:02.400 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% that since you were a kid, you can't remember anything." 46:02.400 --> 46:04.533 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% (both laugh) 46:04.533 --> 46:07.400 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% - Seitu says his two harshest critics. 46:07.400 --> 46:08.533 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% (Seitu laughs) 46:08.533 --> 46:10.366 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% He says, my mother and you. 46:10.366 --> 46:12.100 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% (both laugh) 46:12.100 --> 46:15.900 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% - Yeah, yeah, there's no question 46:15.900 --> 46:20.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% about how deep my mother's love was for me, 46:20.866 --> 46:25.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and I have no question on how deep my wife's love is for me. 46:27.266 --> 46:30.433 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% But they were two of the hardest women in my life. 46:30.433 --> 46:32.566 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% I mean, I can't tell you, 46:32.566 --> 46:37.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% like the critiques and criticism that I got that shaped me. 46:39.566 --> 46:43.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% My mother died just a couple years ago at 90 years old. 46:45.233 --> 46:49.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% We were so fortunate and blessed here in Minnesota, 46:49.066 --> 46:51.366 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% in this land of disparities, 46:52.700 --> 46:56.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% that my mother and father built up some wealth 46:56.566 --> 46:58.200 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% to pass on to us. 46:58.200 --> 47:03.166 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5% And so now, it is our responsibility to do that same thing. 47:04.833 --> 47:09.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% You know, last year and I had a health hiccup, 47:10.966 --> 47:12.966 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, 47:12.966 --> 47:14.666 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% and I had to slow down. 47:17.600 --> 47:22.466 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% That was this big lesson to really focus 47:22.466 --> 47:25.633 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% on this next season. 47:25.633 --> 47:29.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% I'm not going to accelerate the pace of what I'm doing, 47:29.933 --> 47:34.933 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% but I am more laser-focused on it, 47:36.433 --> 47:38.666 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% that you should leave your community more beautiful, 47:38.666 --> 47:39.800 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% than you found it. 47:41.466 --> 47:46.466 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% The Black Gate will be this institution based right here 47:47.633 --> 47:51.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% in Frogtown, that will have a studio space, 47:53.133 --> 47:56.766 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75% and will have two residences on top, two apartments, 47:56.766 --> 48:01.700 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% that will be dedicated to artists. 48:02.866 --> 48:05.566 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% This will be the site of the Black Gate. 48:05.566 --> 48:08.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - We have been recipients of artist residencies. 48:08.866 --> 48:10.666 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% Whoever owned those lands, 48:10.666 --> 48:13.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% they made really intentional decisions 48:13.833 --> 48:17.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% to leave that land there for the future. 48:17.033 --> 48:21.200 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% And we just thought, "Okay, we have this piece of earth, 48:21.200 --> 48:24.833 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and what can we do to make a broader and deeper 48:24.833 --> 48:26.666 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% and more lasting impression?" 48:26.666 --> 48:29.700 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% We want to have something for the future. 48:29.700 --> 48:34.700 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - It will have a small space that will contain our library 48:36.200 --> 48:37.833 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% and our archive. 48:37.833 --> 48:41.733 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% So photos, contracts, 48:43.000 --> 48:46.000 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% communications back and forth, 48:46.000 --> 48:50.700 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% that will help folks coming after us 48:52.366 --> 48:57.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% to understand a career, to understand our path as artists. 48:57.000 --> 49:01.066 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% We're establishing with other African American artists 49:01.066 --> 49:03.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% in particular and other artists 49:03.066 --> 49:05.100 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% that are archiving their work 49:05.100 --> 49:10.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that are wanting to have a say in their legacy, 49:10.900 --> 49:13.066 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% all of that is sacred. 49:13.066 --> 49:18.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% What we want to leave behind is the same thing 49:18.933 --> 49:23.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% that our ancestors left for us. 49:27.933 --> 49:30.233 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% Black Gate is this legacy, 49:30.233 --> 49:35.066 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% but we're not gonna be working on this 49:35.066 --> 49:37.233 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% for all of our lives. 49:37.233 --> 49:40.400 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% You know, I still want to make art. 49:40.400 --> 49:44.433 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% I still would like to spend more time in nature. 49:44.433 --> 49:46.466 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% We're just now getting into birding. 49:46.466 --> 49:49.900 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% I love fishing, and we love to travel. 49:49.900 --> 49:52.733 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% There are all these things still that we wanna do, 49:52.733 --> 49:55.766 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and to see and check out. - I'm very curious. 49:55.766 --> 49:57.066 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% - Yeah. - So, I'm just curious 49:57.066 --> 49:59.600 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% about what's gonna happen this evening. 49:59.600 --> 50:01.566 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% (both laugh) 50:01.566 --> 50:04.066 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% The curiosity-- - Yeah, right, that's true. 50:04.066 --> 50:05.433 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - That kind of curiosity. - That's true. 50:05.433 --> 50:06.900 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% Always kind of looking at 50:06.900 --> 50:08.600 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - So, yeah, can balance it out. 50:08.600 --> 50:09.433 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% - Yeah, yeah. 50:11.400 --> 50:12.800 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - The next piece was written 50:12.800 --> 50:15.766 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% by the beloved poet Mary Oliver. 50:15.766 --> 50:18.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% Though it's entitled "When Death Comes," 50:18.433 --> 50:22.100 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% it really isn't about death, but life and living. 50:25.933 --> 50:30.566 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5% - When death comes like the hungry bear in autumn, 50:30.566 --> 50:33.300 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% when death comes and takes all the bright coins 50:33.300 --> 50:37.400 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% from his purse to buy me and snaps the purse shut. 50:38.800 --> 50:41.933 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% When death comes like an iceberg, 50:41.933 --> 50:43.966 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% between the shoulder blades, 50:45.433 --> 50:49.466 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% I want to step through the door full of curiosity, 50:49.466 --> 50:52.433 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% wondering, "What is it going to be like, 50:52.433 --> 50:55.566 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% that cottage of darkness?" 50:56.900 --> 51:01.666 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% And therefore, I look upon everything 51:01.666 --> 51:04.633 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% as a brotherhood and a sisterhood. 51:04.633 --> 51:08.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% And I look upon time as no more than an idea, 51:08.666 --> 51:12.366 align:left position:20% line:83%
