Unjani Ngempela? uchungechunge lwenhlolokhono olugqamisa abantu ngabanye—ama-CEO, izishoshovu, abadali nezisebenzi ezibalulekile—abavela e- Umphakathi we-BIPOC . Bacabanga ngonyaka odlule (ngoba u-2020 be…unyaka) maqondana nalokhu I-COVID-19, ukungalungi kwezinhlanga , impilo yengqondo nakho konke okuphakathi.
I-Design Art ka-Sofia KraushaarU-A’shanti F. Gholar wayesanda kuqala isahluko esisha emsebenzini wakhe lapho ubhubhane luhlasela. Umongameli omusha we Phuma -inhlangano ebutha futhi eqeqesha abesifazane beDemocratic Alliance ukuthi bangenele izikhundla-yayinezinhlelo ezinkulu kodwa ezilungisiwe ukuze zivumelane nendlela yethu yokuphila entsha. Ngixoxe noGholar ukuze ngibheke emuva onyakeni wakhe odlule nokuthi uyilolonge kanjani impilo yakhe yengqondo, umsebenzi kanye nemibono yakhe ngesimo sokungabi nabulungiswa kwezinhlanga ezweni lakithi.
Ngakho A'shanti, unjani, ngempela?
OKUhlobene: Imibuzo emi-3 okufanele uzibuze yona ku-Coronaversary yakho
Umbuzo wami wokuqala uthi, unjani?
Ngihlale lapho. Ngithole umthamo wami wesibili womuthi wokugoma i-Pfizer emasontweni ambalwa edlule futhi lokho kwakhulula ukukhathazeka okuningi. Ngizizwa ngibusisekile kakhulu ngokuba lapha njengoba izigidi eziningi zabantu zingasindanga kulolu bhubhane, futhi abaningi abaphumelele i-COVID bazoba nezinkinga zempilo eziqhubekayo.
Unjani, ngempela ? Njengabantu ngabanye (ikakhulukazi i-BIPOC) sivame ukusho ukuthi sinjalo kuhle noma singekho .
Unyaka odlule wawunzima nakanjani. Ngithathe izintambo njengomongameli we-Emerge lapho ubhubhane luhlasela, futhi lwashintsha yonke into. Siyinhlangano egxile ekuqeqesheni mathupha futhi sabona lokho kushabalala ngobusuku obubodwa. U-2020 wawugcwele into engaziwa futhi kwadingeka ngithembe amathumbu ami ngezinqumo engangizithatha. Ngaphandle kwakho konke, u-2020 bekungunyaka wethu ophumelele kakhulu e-Emerge.
Unyaka odlule ube nomthelela kanjani empilweni yakho yengqondo?
Akulona nje ubhubhane, kodwa ukwanda kokungabi nabulungisa kwezinhlanga esihlala sikubona futhi sibhekana nakho. Angikhulumi kakhulu emakhasini ami ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ngokubulawa kwabantu abaMnyama ngoba kwamanye amasonto lokho kusho ukuthi ukhuluma ngazo zonke izinsuku, nami ngikhathele emoyeni. Ngiyakugwema kakhulu ukubuka amavidiyo anoma yikuphi ukubulawa kwabantu ngoba kukhulu kimina ukubona ukuthi izimpilo zabaNsundu zithathwa kanjani njengezingenamsebenzi. Kuyisikhumbuzo esiqhubekayo sokuhlukumezeka ngokomzimba, ngokomzwelo, nangokwengqondo kokucwasa ngokobuhlanga kanye nokumelene Nobumnyama.
Ingabe ukuthola kunzima ukukhuluma ngendlela ozizwa ngayo kwabanye?
angifuni. Nganginabazala ababili abashona ngokuzibulala, ngakho ngiyithatha ngokungathi sína impilo yengqondo. Nginenethiwekhi yosekelo emangalisayo ehlala ingena ukuze iqinisekise ukuthi ngimuhle. Kubalulekile ukukhuluma ngendlela esenza ngayo, enhle noma embi, futhi njenge-CEO, uyakudinga lokho.
I-Design Art ka-Sofia KraushaarKungani ucabanga ukuthi kunzima ku-BIPOC ukukhuluma ngempilo yabo yengqondo?
Kubantu abaningi abaNsundu nabaNsundu, imiphakathi yethu kanye nemindeni yethu imbala, idale isigcwagcwa esibi ngezinkinga zempilo yengqondo. Kunenkolelo yokuthi singavele siqine futhi sidlule kukho. Noma yikuphi ukulandisa okulinganisa izinkinga zempilo yengqondo nobuthakathaka kuyingozi. Kudingeka sinakekele impilo yethu yengqondo njengoba nje sinakekela impilo yethu engokomzimba.
Yiziphi izindlela ogxila kuzo empilweni yakho yengqondo? Ingabe akhona amasiko okuzinakekela, amathuluzi, izincwadi, njll. oncike kuwo?
Kimi, yizinto ezincane. Ngithanda i-YouTube ethile! UJackie Aina , Patricia Bright , U-Andrea Renee , UMaya Galore , Alisa Ashley futhi U-Arnell Armon izintandokazi zami. Ukuwabuka kuhlale kungijabulisa kakhulu, kodwa akuyilungele i-akhawunti yami yasebhange njengoba ngigcina ngithenge izimonyo eziningi nezinye izinto. Ngizama ukujima okungenani kathathu ngesonto. NGIYAKUTHANDA nokubhula ngezinkanyezi futhi bengilokhu ngikufunda kakhulu. Njengoba umhlaba uvuleka, ngizoqala ukuhambela amazwe ngamazwe futhi, okuyindlela yami yokuphumula ngempela.
Ngokuningi okwenzekile onyakeni odlule, yini ekwenze wamamatheka/uhleke muva nje?
U-Emerge usanda kuphawula ingqopha-mlando yokuba nabafundi abangaphezu kuka-1,000 ehhovisi kuhlanganise noNobhala wokuqala weKhabhinethi yoMdabu u-Deb Haaland! Lokho kuhlale kuletha ukumamatheka ebusweni bami.
Buka lokhu okuthunyelwe ku-InstagramOkuthunyelwe okwabiwe ngu-A'shanti F. Gholar (@ashantighlar)
Ngabe lolu bhubhane lube nendima kanjani emsebenzini wakho?
Ekuqaleni kwalolu bhubhane, ngangisanda kungena esikhundleni sami njengomongameli omusha we-Emerge. Ngenkathi inkinga yezempilo yomphakathi emhlabeni wonke kwakuyinselelo engangingayilindele, kuphoqe inhlangano yethu yonke ukuthi igxile ngoba sasiqonda ukuthi umsebenzi wethu ubaluleke kakhulu kunangaphambili. Inkinga yezempilo yomphakathi isikhombisile ukuthi esinabo ezindabeni zehhovisi futhi ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule, izikhulu eziningi ezikhethiwe zahluleka imiphakathi yethu futhi zadlala ipolitiki ngezimpilo zabantu. Nakuba umgomo wethu kwa-Emerge usalokhu unjalo, futhi lokho kuwukushintsha ubuso bukahulumeni nokudala intando yeningi ebandakanya wonke umuntu, saba nesibindi futhi sazimisela nakakhulu ukufinyelela kuwo wonke amagumbi ezwe ukuze sinikeze abesifazane Bentando Yeningi amandla ukuthi bangenele futhi bawine.
Ungabamba eyakho iphodikasti I-Brown Girls Guide to Politics . Uyisebenzise kanjani inkundla yakho ukuze ukhulume ngale micimbi yamanje?
Isizini yethu yokugcina ibibambisene ne-Planned Parenthood futhi sibheka ukuthi lolu bhubhane lubathinta kanjani abantu besifazane abanemibala kusuka kwezomnotho kuya ekunakekelweni kwezempilo kuya ekungabini nabulungiswa kwezinhlanga. Isizini yethu ezayo izogxila ekutheni umhlaba uzobe unjani njengoba sesiqala ukuphuma kulo bhubhane nokuthi lowo mhlaba ubukeka kanjani kubantu besifazane abanebala elimhlophe.
Uthemba ukuthi abalaleli bazotholani ku-podcast yakho?
Njengabesifazane bemibala, ziningi izindlela zokubandakanyeka kwezombusazwe kusukela ekubeni isishoshovu, isisebenzi somkhankaso noma ikhandidethi/isikhulu esikhethiwe. Akekho okhuluma ngokuthi kunzima kwabesifazane bebala ukungenela ukhetho. Kuningi okufanele sikukhuthazelele, futhi ngithemba ukuthi abalaleli bethu bayazi ukuthi okuthile okungcono kuhlale kungenzeka uma sifaka umsebenzi wokuchoboza izindinganiso eziphindwe kabili futhi siphule yonke imigoqo esivimbela ukuba sifinyelele amandla ethu aphelele.
Bengifuna ukwakha isikhala nensiza yabesifazane bebala abafuna izindlela zokusebenzela imiphakathi yabo kodwa bengenaso isiqiniseko sokuthi ipolitiki iqondene nabo yini. Ngebhadi babona abesilisa abamhlophe kuphela njengabantu abadonsa izinyawo futhi bethatha izinqumo, kodwa ngangifuna ukuthi bakwazi ukuzibona bengabantu besifazane abaningi bebala engibaziyo abasebenza ezweni lonke ukwenza izinguquko kwezombusazwe. Ngiyasebenzisa I-Brown Girls Guide to Politics ukuhlanganisa nokuphakamisa abesifazane abangagcinanga ngokufuna izihlalo zabo etafuleni kodwa bazakhela awabo amatafula. Futhi, njengabantu besifazane abanebala elimhlophe izimpilo zethu zingokwepolitiki, futhi sidinga ukuxoxa ngezindlela esithinteka ngazo imithetho nezinqubomgomo.
Ngokombono wezombangazwe, ingabe ukholelwa ukuthi izinguquko zenziwe uma kuziwa ekungabini nabulungisa kwezinhlanga onyakeni odlule?
Ngikholwa wukuthi selokhu kwaba nemibhikisho yangonyaka odlule, baningi abantu, okuhlanganisa nabaholi bethu esibaqokile, abavuka bevuka ukuthi kunesidingo esikhulu sokuguqulwa kwezwe. Ekugcineni sebeyabona ukuthi imiphakathi yemibalabala, ikakhulukazi abantu abaNsundu, ibhekene nosongo oluqhubekayo lodlame kanye nokulimala kungakhathaliseki ukuthi udlame lwamaphoyisa, ababulawa yi-COVID-19 ngamanani aphezulu kunanoma yiliphi iqembu lobuhlanga noma ukucwaswa emphakathini uwonke.
Kodwa izehlakalo zakamuva zisikhombisile ukuthi luselude ukhalo okumele siluhambe. Njengoba isizwe sethu siqala ukululama enkingeni yezempilo yomphakathi, ngokuqinisekile sinethuba lokwenza izinguquko ezidingekayo ukuze sibe nesizwe esibandakanyayo nesilinganayo. Kube kukhuthaza ukubona izisebenzi zikahulumeni ezengeziwe, ikakhulukazi abesifazane beDemocratic Alliance, besebenzisa amazwi abo namandla abo ukwakha izinqubomgomo ezizokwenza ngcono izimpilo zabantu ababavotelayo eminyakeni ezayo. Sibona kwethulwa izikweletu ezengeziwe futhi ziphasiswa ukubhekana nesihluku samaphoyisa, ukwanda kobugebengu obunenzondo obubhekiswe kubantu base-Asia nabase-Asia baseMelika, inkinga eqhubekayo yabesifazane abashiya izisebenzi ngenxa yokuntuleka kokunakekelwa kwezingane nokunye okuningi. Lezi yizindaba ezizodinga ukuthi sonke sihlale sibandakanyeka futhi sibambe iqhaza futhi sibambe abaholi bethu baziphendulele.

Kubaluleke ngani ukuthi iBIPOC (ikakhulukazi abesifazane bebala) bazibandakanye kwezombusazwe?
Sidinga abaholi abaningi abakhethiwe abakhombisa imiphakathi yesizwe yethu eya ngokuya ihlukahluka. Abesifazane bemibala baba nesandla okhethweni luka-2020 futhi empeleni bashintsha indlela yezwe. Baphume ngamanani aqoshiwe futhi babonakala ngesikhathi intando yeningi yethu isengozini. Njengoba siqhubeka nokubhekana nezinkinga zobulungiswa bezinhlanga nezenhlalo, sisesimweni esibucayi lapho sidinga abesifazane bebala elimhlophe ukuze bahlale bebambe iqhaza. Abesifazane bemibala bangabaguquli abanamandla futhi kuyacaca ukuzibandakanya kwabo kungenza futhi kuzowenza umehluko uma kukhulunywa ngekusasa lezwe lethu.
Yiziphi iseluleko ozinikeza izishoshovu zesikhathi esizayo?
Enye yezindlela ezibaluleke kakhulu engitshela i-BIPOC ukuthi ingene kwezepolitiki yesizwe sakithi wukungenela ukhetho. Abesifazane abanebala elimhlophe basalokhu bemeleleke kancane kuwo wonke amazinga kahulumeni futhi lokho kuholele ekwenziweni kwenqubomgomo okungagcini nje ngokubekela eceleni kodwa futhi okulimaza izinga lempilo yethu. Sibonile ukuthi kwenzekani uma izinhlangano ezibusayo zezwe lethu zingakhombisi ukuhlukahluka kwaleli zwe yingakho kufanele sinikeze abesifazane abaningi be-BIPOC indlela eya ezikhundleni.
Futhi yiziphi izindlela zokuthi okungeyona i-BIPOC babe abalingani abangcono?
Ngikholwa ukuthi enye yezindlela abantu okungebona abe-BIPOC abangaba abambisene nabo abaphumelelayo iwukusekela abantu abanemibala esikhundleni kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iminikelo noma ukusekela imikhankaso yabo noma nini lapho kunokwenzeka. Kubalulekile futhi ukuthi abangewona abe-BIPOC balalele abantu bebala uma bezwakalisa ukukhathazeka kwabo ngezinkinga ababhekene nazo. Abangane abahle nabo bangabalaleli abahle abenza isikhala sokuthi imiphakathi yemibala ikhulume iqiniso layo futhi ihole ukulwa noshintsho.
Ingabe unamathemba noma izinhloso zonyaka ozayo?
Ukuze uqhubeke nokubona i-Emerge ne-Wonder Media Network's Umhlahlandlela Wezintombi Ezinsundu Kwezepolitiki khula. Usemkhulu umsebenzi okusamele wenziwe ukuthuthukisa amandla abantu besifazane kwezombusazwe.
