We dream of an awakening in our region.

An awakening of intellectual prowess, where we first dismantle oppression with and from our minds, with our words, and, many will say, when required, ‘by all means necessary’.

We dream of an awakening in our region.
An awakening in consciousness; where we recognise crimes against humanity, genocides, and oppression in all its forms, during their infancy; where we know the histories of the oppressed and oppressor; where our young are politicised long before their entrapment by social media and ‘godlike technology’ – a gift, they say. A gift wrapped up in this idea that the number of followers or likes you have is directly proportional to your self-worth and the quasi-impact you think you have in this world – the insidious commercialisation of everything.

We dream of an awakening in our region.
An awakening where we break free from mental capitulation; those disguised in a sort of lusting of consumer and entertainment culture, keeping us bound by the allure of “social status”.

We dream of an awakening in our region.
Where leaders are formed. Not false leaders. True leaders. Humble in conduct, and so conscious of the serious responsibility they possess in society, that they have this incessant fear of the day in which they will be held accountable.

We dream of an awakening.
Where we can all realise our full human potential.

And so,
We go on dreaming of an awakening.
