Deeply grateful for everyone who has taught me so much about who I am and who I can be. I wish a younger me had had exposure to the education I am now receiving and living for. It’s never too late to learn your history and build a better understanding of yourself. This diary entry is written in gratitude to the artists, activists, educators, and organizers who continue the struggle. Free Palestine!
The image is an illustration meant to mimic woodcut designs, which are common to revolutionary art-making. The quote, by José Rizal, says “Know history, know self. No history, no self.” The image contains homages to past educators and friends of mine who have inspired and helped me further understand my history and my people’s history (both White and Filipino ancestry).
