This collection of recollections explores and examines the wide variety of often unacknowledged ways in which the human experience is impacted by often unacknowledged power structures within deeply entrenched and deeply problematic systems. The pieces are shared with a hope of prompting new ways of thinking about both language and lived experiences. To those willing to share their stories, to my fellow learners, teachers and mentors – to storytellers everywhere – thank you for sharing so generously.
