if you think you or someone around you is having a stroke you know you've done that face arms speech time and you think somebody is having a stroke the most important thing to do is to call nine one one the time is the single most important factor determining how well a patient is going to respond to therapy the sooner they get to help the better their brain is going to do every minute that you wait neurons in the brain are dying and neurons don't grow back so we have to save them before they die it's really important to get to help as quickly as possible we're all at risk for stroke but some people more so than others as we get older our risk of stroke increases stroke is more common in certain demographic groups than in others men have a higher risk of stroke than women people who have vascular disease people who have risk factors for vascular disease like high blood pressure diabetes high cholesterol anyone who smokes problems with their heart rhythm like that relation is at high risk of stroke and then there are some people who are sort of genetically predisposed to it a family history of stroke makes it more likely for you to have a stroke so if your family members have had a stroke you're at a higher risk than other people but there isn't anybody who can say they have no risk of stroke community that specifically address structural and institutional racism king with them because they represent an organization that's working with young people immigrant communities people of color to give voice to the issues that are important to them and that's something that's not necessarily historically been part of traditional media sources and so we really wanted to support that work because we see that homes are civically address is something that's plays out in institutionalized racism in the media and it's an opportunity to really have the communities voice centered around issues of violence in the community and what we can do together to move forward to address that pattern of race and i just want to share something with you that that's important to my heart and it's a new series of paintings that i'm doing some of you may know most of you don't know that i had a lot of artwork in a gallery that was flooded and so a you one piece that's in a particular show right now and that's this one and it's the dance of praise and this particular piece is an inspiration to me because that's about a work of art that is going to evoke positive feelings in our lives there's a lot of negativity in the news media out in the world even in our homes a lot it was brought to us we didn't invite it but we allowed it to come in and so one of the things i wanted to do with the art in these ar pieces in the series that i'm making is to bring back positive energy positive feelings that laughter dance things that make you feel better about yourself something that's going to lift up your spirit something that's going to bring healing to you by arms face dances yeah so and i'm introducing some colors that i normally don't put into my paintings are actually some fluorescent colors in there so i have a feeling that at night i'm just certain lighting is going to be some some glowing and many of the new pieces that are coming up they're going to have some shimmer too and i'm going to add some metallics to them more so and i'm excited about it in the i know everyone else on this particular piece goes back to a lot of my travels i travel and i'm inspired by what i see that they're doing they do a lot of beautiful art they have a beautiful spirit their resilience their strength in spite of diversity they're very strong i mean i watched a child carrying a huge brick you know to help build a house and i mean i mean the brick was about like that how would you want to carry a brick that long i've seen him pick up buckets of water those five gallon buckets i would carry that in a carrier from the river to their huts so  encouraged by them because they have the kind of resilience and strength and i love to see the children do that that they're doing so encourages me to see children being creative making things out of nothing out of bottles cans whatever they find i'm really inspired by that and so in my work i want to capture that child likeness you know that child joy of course is a little sophisticated because of the lines but still i wanted to get the essence of life that a child has because we still have a little bit of a child in all of us i always say that there's a child in me looking in the mirror saying what happened to the body so i can capture that child likeness in my paintings and its colors and its movement i want people to feel happy when they see the to feel joy i want them to forget about all the problems and walls of society and the world i want them to have that moment of heaven when they see the world i just want to capture that childlikeness that you know the colors of pure  don't orange in this piece some of his that red and green i can make up whatever kind of hairstyle or hat or whatever i want to do i have total freedom so i'm not confined by anything i can borrow from all the different cultures all the different things i've been exposed to in life scum like food and put all kinds of food in you don't know what's going to come out but you know it's going to come out i was in i was in ethiopia i was in uganda i was in several trips to see i think the most colorful place i've been to was probably in brazil as far as our brazilian artists they have murals on the walls and i did one when i was there and just their color is so vibrant and everything is so beautiful beautiful piece if it was an opportunity for artists to show their work and i'm thinking well we can't pass up that opportunity so i decided to go ahead and cure rate the show believe me it's a lot more work than i thought i could handle but i got a lot of support a lot of help and that's what made it happen for me that was there for that i don't think that would have happened so i'm glad it happened and knowing that there's doors open for another show to happen yeah i love the art of the ethiopians love the theme people they're very dear to my heart  and the artists they do fantastic work and i like to showcase to actually help one artist you know at my school yeah you know he's got his own gallery yeah so you know i'm glad to see that he's growing and he's expanding and because we did we did a few shows together he used to gallery my gallery and as well as in the community yeah yeah ok ok so i just wanted to share this piece with you and let you know that and what we do is provide information to civics culture and community of seattle but that's not the only thing that cable channels provide them or provides a way for the community to speak to can to provide information about ongoing activities and events great excellent so we're having conversation on how much longer you can stay put you are immigrant a first generation american  all parents were born in italy that came over as teenagers they didn't meet in italy right over here and it was the first of two children ok so do you have an answer to yourself for yes i have one daughter ok currently he just came back from ecuador oh nice ecuador so that's amazing in the sense that we're all community here so i know with him r t i the executive director is ethiopian and asya booty and i know he's active in the community here that's a great channel it's a soap box it's free to any citizen or resident ok i don't ok you can go on there and you can make your own show you can talk to your people you can talk about issues that are important to you right you could put this show but that i think we're going to put a big i'm going to put on the channel but what's interesting also is that now with the whole internet and we have you tube and you stream all these other places to go look at content but if you're a citizen of seattle you still have a place you can go and learn about how to get on t v actually read it and so now there's two options there's what's now become the old option cable television where you go to your cable box and you go to channel seventy seven but now  has a new option coming up web streaming you don't need the cable privately you don't need to pay cable subscriptions what you do need is a computer and a browser to get to the internet and then you can watch a live call in show exactly right from this studio right and even on your phone or tablet i'm sure yeah so there's not be a computer i mean even those coming from a computer you can watch it on any kind of intelligent device computer device it could be tablet your p c or  today i know you've been really active in trying to get multimedia training map of seattle as far as being a provider for digital content your so again so and i thank you for the partnership is going to happen because it's not just with seattle channel and not just him or marciano but there are other professional organizations that are part of this so yes speaking to that there's also different departments in the city who are helping out in order to make this a viable place for youth to come  and make television and to learn about media the office of immigration and refugee affairs ok is working closely with us to publicize and distribute information about this institution beautiful also comcast unwavered carrying the channel nor see other community colleges also providing help and support with their public access channel so there's lots of different departments and ways that we're trying to help to make sure that every community  in seattle has a voice right and a way to interact not only with government but with each other exactly so the interaction of government is key because as a citizen even if you're a migrant you can store immigrant migrant emigrant could still vote you know and so you r vote is definitely away
