1 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: There Are No Girls on the Internet. As a production 2 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: of My Heart Radio and Unbossed Creative. I'm Bridget Todd 3 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: and this is there are No Girls on the Internet. 4 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 1: So in true nerd fashion, I have a birthday on 5 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: Pie Day this weekend on March fourteen, and to celebrate, 6 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: I wanted to honor one of my heroes, A sell 7 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: A Pie from You might have seen her story in 8 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl commercial in Mrs Stella spent fifty years 9 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: in public education, serving low income kids in a Title 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: one school. Now, while teaching, she saw that many of 11 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: her kids couldn't always do their assignments because they didn't 12 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: have access to a computer or reliable internet at home. 13 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: So she created a Stella's a Brilliant Bus to bring 14 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: the computers to them. My name is Stello and the 15 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: creator and founder of Stella's Brilliant Bus. The Stella's Brilliant 16 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: Bus is a mobile learning center where we provide education 17 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: and technology for underserved community to children and underserved communities, 18 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: and that's what we've been doing since we started. But 19 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 1: realizing that the children have other siblings and other relatives, 20 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: let me own service, we have expanded our service to 21 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: include not just children, but adults in unserved communities. That's 22 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: what the breed much is all about. It's not just 23 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: the tech center, it's the learning center, but we use 24 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: above to provide the technology to accomplish the mission that 25 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: we set out to do in the communities. After retiring 26 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: in her seventies, Mrs Stella spent her life savings on 27 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: a bus that she turned into a mobile learning center 28 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: to help bridge the digital divide and help bring technology 29 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: to the communities who meet it most. Knowing that I 30 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: was getting older and I was pretty much I would 31 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: say we all over seven through one, I knew that 32 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: if I was going to doing anything other than work 33 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: at the school, I needed to look at what that 34 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: option might be. And when the hurricane devastated other people 35 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: in all means in other places, it's shopping. My ideal 36 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: about going out into communities and doing something that I 37 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: thought would be worth while. I had the idea of 38 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: creating something to think out in the community, but put 39 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: it on hold because I wasn't really sure what I 40 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: was gonna do. But after that hurricane and I thought 41 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: about this is it. According to Pew, a quarter of 42 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: lower income teams don't have access to a home computer, 43 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 1: and one quarter of black youth that they often or 44 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: sometimes can't do their homework assignments because they don't have 45 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: reliable internet access or a computer. Compare that to just 46 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: white youth. This is sometimes called the digital divide and 47 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: it presents a big barrier to kids in all communities 48 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: being able to succeed. I figured if I could create 49 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: a project that I could take and didn't the community, 50 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: because we knew that this was age of technology, and 51 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: I knew from working with Type one schools and there 52 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: was that did you do divide? So I wanted to 53 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: keep that going because I know if as out community 54 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: is a concern that we served the children that and 55 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: the Tide one school was missing at home the technology. 56 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: Mrs Stella was relentless and she also dreamed big. Her 57 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: first thought was to use her old minivan and she 58 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: even told her with the idea of trying to get 59 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: her hands on a semi truck to turn that into 60 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: a mobile computer lab. So, in putting my ideas together, 61 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: the first thing I asked myself how can I provide 62 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: technology to these undeserved communities? And I stop thinking about 63 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: it a while. I knew that the band that I 64 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: had would not be enough because it was just not 65 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: big enough. Sird more than or five children at one time? 66 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: If that meaning? So I decided, after thinking about it, 67 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: what is it that I would be comfortable with? Knowing 68 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: that I didn't have a lot of money, But how 69 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: can I make it work? Because I was of the failure, 70 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: it's not an option mindset, so I knew what I 71 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: was gonna do had to be successful because flee you 72 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: was not an option. So I thought about the band 73 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: and I ruled that out. I thought about it, say 74 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: my truck and I said, I can't drive that I'm 75 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: on the back went out during my lifetime, and then 76 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: the bus came up. I said that I use a bus. 77 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: I have a lot more space, and of course I 78 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: can drive a bus because I learned to drive a 79 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 1: bus through my childhood because my dad had no boys 80 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: and six girls and I was the only girl that 81 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: was brave enough learn how to drive the truck and 82 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: the bus. So I thinkured I could save some money 83 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: if I got if I used a bus, because that 84 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: was something that I could drive when I needed. So 85 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: I grabbed some paper and pilsu gets started drawing figured 86 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: out what I wanted to do and started working on it. 87 00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: And it was an idea that I together on a 88 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: pool and then I was successful in lifting that idea 89 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 1: of the paper and put it into reality. I didn't 90 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: know that you actually drive the busy yourself. My goodness, 91 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: you really drive the bus. And when we first got started, 92 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: I drove the bus. And most of those videos that's 93 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: on the website on YouTube, they didn't believe I could 94 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: drive the bus either. It all made me drive the bus. 95 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: You'll see me driving up driving the bus, but I 96 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: have someone to help me drive the bus. The producers 97 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: didn't want that. They wanted need to drive the bus. 98 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: That gets to prove that in my age, that I 99 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: could drive that bus. Do you mind me asking how 100 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: old you are? You don't have to say if you 101 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: don't want to, no, I'm eighty four. It was Mrs 102 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: Sella's father who instilled in her the importance of helping 103 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: others and sharing with your community, even if you didn't 104 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: have a lot. My father was a mid contract though, 105 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: and we traveled from Florida to New York for nineteen years. 106 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: The harvest produced thinking beings, worn potatoes and things of 107 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: that sort, and my dad was a very kind hearted 108 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: man who really enjoyed giving and helping people, even though 109 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: he was a poor man. And he would travel up north, 110 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: leaving Florida during the month of May mid May and 111 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: sometimes come we will come back in October. Because if 112 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: you don't have any skills, then you have to do 113 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: unskilled laboring jobs. And that was what was going on 114 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,679 Speaker 1: with my parents, needing one of them ever finished elementary school, 115 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: so they didn't have skills, but they were very smart 116 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: and are working people. Growing up poor in a government 117 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: housing project. Mr Stella knew that not much was expected 118 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 1: of her, but the power of community helped her subvert 119 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: as a lot of expectations. We lived in a government project. Uh. 120 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: And if you have seen the documentary obvious of shame 121 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: but able our moral when they predicted that we probably 122 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: would ever get out of that project, you just stuck 123 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: there for life. And that less than thirty percent of 124 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: us but ever get out of there. Uh. And the 125 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: smaller percentage of us would probably not make it to 126 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: college because you would be stuck in at rut and 127 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: that government project. But I'm proud to say that many 128 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:59,719 Speaker 1: of us who went to school out there, graduating from 129 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: my school with the college and obtain advanced degrees. Now, 130 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: in the project where I lived, it was the ideal 131 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: of takes the village to raise a child. And all 132 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: of us are poor all about most of our parents world, 133 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: working far away from the in the in the fields, 134 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: but there was always someone home in that project during 135 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: that day, and they would look out for each other, 136 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: and we got longer doing the day. We could go 137 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: to that neighbor's house and they'll give us some bread 138 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: and cheese, or bread and mayonnaise, or bread and peanut butter. 139 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: So it's one of those things where a village actually 140 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: helped raise a child, and we learned to share whatever 141 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: we had, but every resources that we had, so we 142 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: just grew open that mentality. Do you feel that that's 143 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: why you're inspired to give back to the kids in 144 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: your community with the bus to make sure that they 145 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: have the same kind of village that helped raise you 146 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: and your sisters. I'm sure and they had something to 147 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: do with that experience is a thing would brand for 148 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: me into the birds of who I am today, giving 149 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: and sharing with other people who need of the most. Now, 150 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: summers can worsen the divide between low income kids and 151 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: kids whose families can afford things like summer camp. The 152 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: learning loss that students sometimes experience when they're out for 153 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: summer break is sometimes called the summer slide, and a 154 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: John Hopkins study found that by ninth grade, the summer 155 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: slide makes up for two thirds of the reading achievement 156 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: gap between low income kids and middle income kids. To 157 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: combat this, Mrs Stella spent her summers taking kids on 158 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: educational trips in her bus. She self financed them, looking 159 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: for deals on hotels and me else so the trips 160 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't cost the families a time. But then COVID head 161 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: and now her bus is in park. We would go 162 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: pack the bus and go into communities. We have worked 163 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: with churches, community centers, schools, and county organizations and we 164 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: would just schedule our activities and we would go out 165 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: in the community and make things happen. There was no 166 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: problem when COVID came along. Everybody was afraid of everybody, 167 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: so business was shutting down. People were afraid of their 168 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: children and other family members, and of course you know, 169 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: they were dying. So we adhere to what the community 170 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: was doing when they shut down business. Since we parked 171 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: the bus and now we have two buses now and 172 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: we would take these kids across the country to travel 173 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: the Freedom Trail and also get more exposure to technology, 174 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: education and technology, and we would get on the road 175 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: for ten or twelve days with one hundred teenagers going 176 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: across country. Don't get more exposure because many of the 177 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: kids who living those roots in communities, they don't get 178 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: to go to a town. So they speak because sometimes 179 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: their parents can't afford to take them. Many of them 180 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: are working, or they just can't afford the other expense 181 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: that going along with it. So three years in a row, 182 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: I was very successful in taking the kids across the 183 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: country for ten or twelve days, giving them exposure and 184 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: not having to charge them one set and then we 185 00:12:54,240 --> 00:13:00,079 Speaker 1: were able to expose them to technoledging and address the 186 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: summer slide. But this pass do not We did not 187 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: because we were right, I'm going into involved with COVID. 188 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: So again we didn't want to be responsible or exposing 189 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: kids to COVID because they're just learning a little bit 190 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: more about it, but they didn't know anything about it. 191 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: They didn't know very much I would say about it. 192 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: So we just decided we'll just stay in close up 193 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: like other businesses until they signed out more how to 194 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: keep people and I'm talking about adults and their children 195 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: say from the lunavirus, COVID has only shown how important 196 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: it is for all kids to have access to technology. 197 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: If low income kids didn't have computers are reliable internet 198 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: at home before, how are they supposed to keep up 199 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: with remote learning during COVID. P actually found that one 200 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: in five parents with kids at home because of COVID 201 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: say it is very or somewhat likely that their kids 202 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: won't be able to complete schoolwork because they don't have 203 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: access to a computer or internet. It's so important to 204 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: support community leaders like miss A Stella, who won't let 205 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: a generation of kids get left behind because of their 206 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: economic circumstances. In miss A Stella's community, they looked after 207 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: little ones like a village, sharing what little they had 208 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: with one another. She's a living legend and her work 209 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: and legacy is a testament to the fact that anyone 210 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: can make a lasting difference. Ms Stella, what a life 211 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: you have lived? What a what an inspiration? What do 212 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: you want to say if somebody is out there and 213 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: they think, gosh, I want to make a difference, but 214 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what I can do. What's your message 215 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: to them? Because you've made your one woman and you've 216 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: made such a big difference on your community. What is 217 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: your message to other people who might be listening, who 218 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: want to do what you're doing and make a difference 219 00:14:54,800 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: in their communities? No, mid age up there with your dreams. 220 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: One thing and the other thing is if you can 221 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: believe it and willing to work, you can achieve it. 222 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: I so appreciate it.
