Yet another literary festival where
a white person says that:
I’m "giving voice to the voiceless.”
I corrected with:
"The voices are there & are dynamic, they just were not centered. They were omitted or not given resources to flourish..."
People shifted in their seats.
The numbers are clear: When people are weighed down by student loan debt, they’re less likely to start families. Or buy cars. Or buy homes. Or start small businesses. We need to #CancelStudentDebt to let people build a future and jumpstart our whole economy.
