This spoken word piece is a reminder for everyone with an 'unforgettable' name, an MS Word error name. Your name has a history. IS a history. Names such as these are a 'cache for lost memories, histories and songs. Your name was given for a reason. Never forget it.

Unforgettable by Pages Matam, Elizabeth Acevedo and G. Yamazawa

sometimes you believe you are so neutral that racism is beyond you. and then you wake up and you realise you are the racialised you and yes, you are you and only you! time to change the job. country. or both.
