She Speaks: Spoken Word Poetry.

Welcome to episode 10. Sometimes don't you think it's a shame that video killed the radio star?! That's why I'm personally so excited to see the resurgence of this mode through modern day podcasts. The fact that listeners don'ts have a visual for the voice they hear can possibly minimize tendencies to stereotype or categorize based on what is seen. This next piece talks about how my true identity is not simply a reflection of my exterior nor is it defined by where I happened to be born. It's called, Foreigner. The notion of identity is not a fixed entity. Rather, it is a permeable, ever-changing and living concept that can never truly be pinned down. Examine your own views on identity. What do you identify with? Your birthplace? Your ethnicity? Or how about the predominant culture in your life? The more I try to unpack identity, the more I realize that it is a complex amalgamation of so many diverse life factors, experiences and influences. What are your thoughts?
