One of my favorite TED talks, i came back 14 yrs later just to hear it again.
same🙂
I just found this in 2020 💕 I live in Africa and all the issues she raised 13 years ago are still soo relevant to this day the whole world needs to wake up to greater sustainability not just for ourselves but for future generation TED amazing just sad Iv never heard of this inspiring woman before 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🌈
Having grown up in Brooklyn NY, I appreciate what this sister has to say. As of 01/16/10, RUclips states that this video has 248 likes and 21 dislikes. As for the 21 dislikes, I'm NOT gonna "go there," except to say that the majority of 248 likes speaks volumes about the content of this presentation. Playa hate if you will, but as a person who GREW UP in the hood, it's refreshing to hear about Sustainable SOLUTIONS coming to the hood. Stuff happens when you remove parks and nature from people.
What a beautiful lady! She shares all my ideas, and she's a doer! I need to step my game up and be more proactive. What an inspiration, and I'll do my best to contribute even more than I can imagine. Majora, keep doing your thing!
aww the parts when she talks about her brother really struck me... she's amazing
What a human! She's a walking talking inspiration and positive change machine. Six stars!
If you didn't know before, you know now. Yes, beautifully said. I too am familiar with freeways being built from the suburbs to race the suburbians thru poverty stricken areas that, by the way, include a county jail that was built so swiftly and quietly in these residential areas no one could fight it before it was too late. They've just started revitalizing the parks and surrounding areas to help raise Green awareness.
Brilliant! I am a Black Man in America with only one question. Why haven't I heard of this lady?
That's the question, isn't it. Why haven't you? Why hasn't anyone?
Why are the people trying to fix things silenced? Because the people with all the resources don't want them fixed.
Had to check my video speed to make sure I wasn't on 1.5X speed.
same
i thought it was 2.0X
I came in touch with Majora thur an ethic's class assignment and am so glad I did. Majora you are very very AWESOME and inspirational!
Brilliant ideas, Majora. And so true that all need to be at the table during the decision making process.
She is my new hero! What incredible work she is doing in the south bronx!
She's the Saul Williams of activism. Bravo, honey. You are incredible in every way.
Powerful. I first thought that this was going to be a political speech, but this beautiful lady presented her points well thought-out and researched. I remember the Hunts Point area as a kid way back in the day. Her descriptions were not exaggerated as I still remember the river looking a sickly brownish green color. I am glad that the Bronx has had so many improvements and cleanups in the past decade.
THIS VIDEO IS TRULY AMAZING. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS MAJORA. Much respect to her.
Really love how she is making us aware of what issues that were going on, Love her plan !!
Thought it was a little fast... still understood perfectly at 2x speed though, so people watching at regular speed should be fine. xD
This woman is my idol. Will someone please tell me how I can contact her so that I can help somehow. I cannot believe how involved she is. All of the things she speaks about are things I fight for on a very small scale. I want to be on a higher scale. This is just amazing.
I'm Brent From Reno, Nevada. Thank you Marjora For giving me inspiration to do what's best for people. You are a Hero.
"I was making HIM an offer" -- love it! And I love how AL Gore was clapping lol.
Amazingly beautiful strong willed speech!! :) Definitely inspiring
Thank you for posting this, TED.
Majora is a true Black Queen Warrior for Environmental Justice. She fights for the cause with intellect, heart body and soul. She is a true Social Capitalist Warrior that understands how to leverage benefits for more benefits and how to use corporate shares to give standing and voice in the board room for the good of the community. May Peace, Power and Blessings her reward for the good she does.
My favorite video. Majora is my hero
Watching in 2021!
It was very in detailed about everything
"i was offering him an opportunity" - oh yes! we need muuuch more people like this! i try my best every single day to reach that!
She is really beautiful. Too powerful for the regular mind to comprehend.
I think I love her...
This is ridiculously fast! I just checked out another one of her speeches where she’s much more poised and less nervous! I really tried to listen to the entire message, but I simply can’t put forth the concentration and focus to make it! Thank goodness she’s out of this stage cause she is the truth! Congratulations on all of your endeavors thus far and the many more to come my queen! Sorry about this comment tho 😢
This chick is the bomb, a true Warrior with the good of all at heart. Y'all haters need to come over to the side of rightousness, word is bond!
Amazing what you have done for the planet and your community, I'm In Glasgow City centre and even though Scotland has clean air Glasgow is a different story you deserve 10 out of 10 for your effort and amazing talk
Great highlight of such a big part of our society. Some great and also simple ideas. Hope this is a great area now 17 years or more later!!
I agree
Enrique Penalosa, I used him as a reference for my thesis. He's amazing, but what is he doing is one of the hardest job in the world because he have to confront mafias. Kudos to Penalosa
Truly inspiring ❤️
She's so beautiful!
what an amazing talk! she is such an inspiration to follow :)
i love you , your a hero!!!
god bless Majora Carter for standing up for Tibet
She is my cousin too, that is the crazy thing about this. By blood we are cousins, my grandmother Susie Schafer (who just passed away 7 months ago) is the older sister of Majora's mother Tinnie Johnson Carter (who died a couple years ago). I am so proud of her. She inspires me and so many other individuals in our family.
My friend just posted on FB about her. She's very insightful.❤
@SUlaxer17 She had to talk fast because the speech had to be finish under 20 minutes.
Majora, THANK YOU!
This is the spirit !!
Inspiring, go Majora Carter!
Powerful!
❤ I learn a lot of things thanks
Timely and topical.
Wonder if she knows her speech is being used as an example for my public speaking class.
thats really cool. what aspects did you like?
Loved this ted talk !
INSPIRATION
I felt this ✊🏽
Great video.
this is a mind and purpose at its best i wish i can call her my sister lol im proud of her and don't even know her but praise GOD for you and may the lord Jesus bless you
She is the kind of woman I want my daughters to become.
Amazingg workk thanks much for the insite Ttalks!
Man, this woman may very well be the new Jane Jacobs! That's right, I said it!
Love!
Really cool!! And smart:)
She is fiiine.
Hire me Majora!
only if she understood that money stands in the way, that without money, we could accomplish a whole lot more. Really, a resource based economy would be the only way to truly unlocking human potential in regards to "going green"
She cares and she acts!!!! YAH bless her.
Omgg she's my neighbor
Good job my Majora we have to get involved Watts Labor Action Community a non-profit I work with does the same in Watts California an amazing complex with a musuem about Watts when it was a progressive beautful city in the 50's 60's Please come see it Now it is happening in small towns and cities in Nigeria by China they build roads and buildings and finish the enviroment
Please elaborate on the "6 groups working and winning these issues in the Bronx". We would love to know who they are.
A very good and moving speech, but I wish she spoke a little more slowly. That's the downside of having an 18 minute max, I guess.
New hero !!
Izzy2320...Why wait for Majora? What have you done?
Long live Majora Carter!
@sabelmouse you be can be right now go in your community and make a diffrence!
@skoda130, how is it an oxymoron??? At the stage your referring to, we didn't have highly advanced technology that could make the scarcity our ancestors faced a thing of ancient history. If anything, a money based society breeds artificial scarcity, its the very mechanism that leads to 30,000 death daily from hunger and preventable diseases, while the WHO recently admitted we have more than enough food (resources) to end world hunger, but yet not enough fancy pieces of paper to afford it
NICE
It is incredibly lucky to hear the great talks like this... but it would have been better, if she had thrown her script away and interacted with the crowd.
risk management vs urban planning.
If people just had enough to eat you wouldn’t get driven to pointing a gun at someone to feed the family

Wow your lucky, but no offense i dont like ur name sara P. I am watching this for honework but it is a great speech
People need to seriously stop sipping on that Haterade. I'm sure it's quite the task to have so much to say and a limited amount of time to say it. I grew up in Spanish Harlem, right across the river from Hunt's Point in the South Bronx. Unfortunately, socioeconomic status and environmental issues are linked and environmental injustice exist. Environmental Racism exists.
💀
Craziest victim video I've ever seen 💀
seems like kind of the opposite, she is doing what she can despite the hardships she was born into.
Dividing peoples with the same goals is not a way to achieve those goals. (unless giving credit is the goal)
