Who I am.
In a world saturated with cautionary tales and grim predictions about the future of humanity, I found solace in the visionary of possibilities that unfolded before me. Every day, as the media bombarded us with warnings and dire forecasts, I embarked on a journey of exploration, seeking to redefine our collective vision of the future.

The Society Song — Hi Hi Oppression. Content Warning.
I am Australian. I am Arab. I am Muslim. I am considered a non-aboriginal. Above all, though, I am human. I was welcomed to Australia when I was 2 years old. When I was 5, I was awarded with a citizenship. The same year, an aboriginal man robbed my family and I, and stole our goods and money. When we told fellow members of the Australian (non-aboriginal) community, they responded with many vulgar comments and one that to this day stands out to me was: “Yeah mate, just be careful from those mobs, they’re dangerous, sayin’ it’s their land an’ all, ungrateful.” My parents taught us to stay away from these ‘mobs’. Such negative stereotypes are a primary cause of the social, economic and cultural disadvantages of aboriginal people. They are often judged as being ‘less than’ from the get-go, thereby keeping them from having the same access to opportunities as the rest of us.

Hello 911? I want to report a Stigma Slaughter. Content Warning.
Tabarak. That is my name. In the Quran, it is defined as “blessed”. My name is representative of my journey, my religion, my race and my culture. As a Muslim and as an Arab, I have seen mental illness being treated as a taboo topic in my community, as it is in many other cultures. Through my personal perspective, I have employed my sociological imagination to reflect on the reasons behind the negative attitudes that some cultures have to mental illnesses.
