"content": "I am concluding. We must learn to explore our world beyond the guesses, laughter, derision and that sense of public shame and humiliation that we go through each and every day of our lives. The difficulties that we face must not be used as a hindrance to ourselves and aspirations and determination towards true independence and actualization. This endeavour is not only liberating, but fulfilling at the very least and full of promise and potential for the exposition of our inherent talents that form the bedrock of our contribution. We too have something to offer. The shows of force of white privilege or the cover that comes with multi-layered identities, and the essence of our ‘in-betweenness’ cannot be used by ourselves and those around us to occasion the limitation of development of our own narratives in order to hide our ethnicities, nativities and heritage, fearing the ultimate embarrassment of being discovered. For in doing so, we predicate our lives to no man’s island state that not only blurs our vision, but also reduces us to the transfer list braggadocio of others in whose ego and position within the food chain is enhanced by our very own unacceptance."
