Dear Folks, hope you are ayoba! After a process deliberation - I had to come up with the title suggestion. I suggest that we give our anthology the title that goes "Unleashing Untapped Voices". 1. This is because the word unleashing is closely related with the term releasing. Good people, on this project, we are giving a free rein to our feelings for the best ever self-expression in words. 2. While the word untapped, has the synonyms such as the words new, unused, etc. We are bringing new unexploited poems, that no one has heard of originally and creatively. 3. Voice - on a critical perspective this term means ‘the power of speech’. Surely we will change the lives of our people by making them to be informed about the things we see in the
In the text When the First Voice You Hear Is Not Your Own written by Jacqueline Royster, talks about the struggles of being an academic scholar in a world viewed as the minority or the “Other” (page). The complications she runs into talking to other colleagues that are considered superior to her informing fake news, but she feels as though she can’t correct them since their ethnic group is superior to hers. Royster explains how it feels to constantly have cross-boundary discourse, how she likes to be fair and tries to see an argument in as many views as possible. She compares herself to W.E.B DuBois who is able to look through the “Vail” about cross-boundary topics and is able to stay neutral seeing both sides during a discourse about something
Hi everyone! How are you today? Nice to see all you guys here. Let’s me introduce myself first. My name is Jane Kennedy. I am one of writers of the film ‘The Castle’.

The case of Emmett Till has many different interpretations, but there is one in particular, that is quite similar to the actual story. The fictional book, Wolf Whistle, was set in the 1950’s and written by Lewis Nordan.

The story is centered around Bobo’s visit to Mississippi to see his family. When Bobo goes to the local grocery store with his friends, they dare him to “wolf whistle” at a white woman, Sally Anne Montberclaire.
In the story “Coming to America, Finding Your Voice”, journalist Hinojosa illustrates that being powerful means having the courage to speak up and trust who you are. The author shares the story of how her mother came to the U.S. from Mexico, describing her mom’s reaction when immigration agent in Texas told her that Hinojosa, her baby, couldn’t come into the country. “The super-tall Texan immigration agent with the super-thick accent towered over my five-foot-tall mom who also had a very thick accent--a Mexican one,” she states. How frightening this situation must have been for her mom is clearly conveyed through intimidating words such as “towered”. In addition, she stresses the comparison between the agent’s accent, a common one in Texas, and her mom’s Mexican one, which most likely made

Judith Bradford and Crispin Sartwell in their essay “Voiced Bodies/Embodied Voices” helps articulate the difficulties of being heard. One voicing their opinions to others is not going to always work as planned because of the many biases of others as well as the social construct of society. Bradford and Sartwell explain the three conditions that allow individuals to have their voices heard. Physically being in a position where one can speak to certain people is one of the conditions. This notion means that if people are physically in an area where there is an agreement being made, they can have the ability to voice their opinion since they are present at the event. Another condition is if one has the ability to speak. Words and phrases need

While reading " Deaf in America: Voices From A Culture " I notice the purpose of this book was to wrote about Deaf people in a new and different way. The book main focus is that Deaf people have a condition that they can't hear. The culture of Deaf people is what both authors want to begin yo betray. What I found interesting while reading is that the majority of indidivauls within the community of Deaf people do not join it at birth. While reading these chapters I've seen both auhtors try to present the culture from the inside to discover how Deaf people describe themselves and how they think about their lives.
