“You think because you work, invest money in the system, and sit at the table with the oppressor that you are free?”

This line has been running through my head. No matter what we are capable of, we have to work twice as hard to even be recognized for the same merits.

Yes. It is something I think about quite often. Especially with navigating my early career.

I think the title choice of Immortal Technique’s song is intriguing in addition to its lyrics and message. It could be an allusion to Karl Marx’s book with the same title—The Poverty of Philosophy—challenging a yearn for a utopian society and spurring revolutionary ideals.

I'm challenged by your identity statements. How do you think identity and knowledge of it manifests in resistance and exemplifies the radical? Why is identity most often emphasized as the mirror to one's history? What if that piece of history is unknown?
