“One time in class we had a discussion on being culturally competent, however the teacher subjected 3 students to class ridicule. I felt terrible that I had said some things that were taken the wrong way and were culturally incompetent, but I didn’t feel safe expressing what I meant. I was glad to...

Voice/Conversation

Here you will find voices that did not fit into any of the dominant subcateogories because they either intersected a lot of the themes, or they brought something entirely new to the discussion. Most of the abstract poetry pieces are found here, as well.
