From the Ted Talk by LaToya Ruby Frazier: A creative solution for the water crisis in Flint, Michigan
Unscramble the Blue Letters
Through creativity and solidarity, Amber haasn, Shea Cobb, Tuklor Senegal, The stesir Tour, myself, the plpeoe of Flint, Dexter Moon, Moses West and his ahpiostrmec water gnoeetrar have been able to provide 120,000 gallons of free, clean water.
(Applause)
The people in Flint deserve access to clean water. Water is life. It is the spirit that binds us from sickness, death and destruction. Imagine how many millions of lives we could save if Moses's machine were in plecas like Newark, New jeesry, South Africa and idina, with compassion instead of profit motives.
I lodead my camera, I locked my focus, and I placed my fngier over the shutter release, as Shea and Zion went to take their first sip of clean water. When the shutter rleesaed, I was overcome with a deep sense of joy and righteousness. When I sent Shea some of the photographs, she wrote, "Thank you again for the light that you bring to my city." I idtleemmaiy replied, "The light was already there within you."

Through creativity and solidarity, Amber Hasan, Shea Cobb, Tuklor Senegal, The Sister Tour, myself, the people of Flint, Dexter Moon, Moses West and his atmospheric water generator have been able to provide 120,000 gallons of free, clean water.
(Applause)
The people in Flint deserve access to clean water. Water is life. It is the spirit that binds us from sickness, death and destruction. Imagine how many millions of lives we could save if Moses's machine were in places like Newark, New Jersey, South Africa and India, with compassion instead of profit motives.
I loaded my camera, I locked my focus, and I placed my finger over the shutter release, as Shea and Zion went to take their first sip of clean water. When the shutter released, I was overcome with a deep sense of joy and righteousness. When I sent Shea some of the photographs, she wrote, "Thank you again for the light that you bring to my city." I immediately replied, "The light was already there within you."
