Adrienne Rich — ⚖️ Justice Quote

Being erased from the narrative is a profound form of injustice

“When those who have power to name and to socially construct reality choose not to see you or hear you whether you are dark-skinned old disabled female or speak with a different accent or dialect than theirs when someone with the authority of a teacher describes the world and you are not in it there is a moment of psychic disequilibrium”
