In the TED Talk “What if gentrification was about healing communities instead of displacing them?” by Liz Ogbu was about the overarching topic of gentrification. Liz is an architect who works on spatial justice. She believes that the idea that justice has a geography and that the equitable distribution of resources and services is a human right. She develops real and deep questions that challenge developers, architects, and policymakers about gentrification. When these people participate in the act of gentrification, they are harming the community members, some of whom have lived there for numerous upon numerous years. Liz strongly believes that healing is not about erasing pain, healing is about acknowledging pain and making peace with it and that is exactly why she does the occupation she is in right now. She is there not to build on top of the brokenness but rather, restore hope and healing in these communities. Some key points that were raised in the TED talk that really caught my attention were, “Who thinks you can go to therapy once and be healed,” “Hurt people hurt people, healed people heal people,” and “pain and grief are recurring themes of gentrification.” She also mentions that the choice of gentrification is not yours to make, it is no longer your home. This is completely true and disturbing becuase at the back of your mind you must formulate a backup plan just in case, which is saddening.
