Given an option between betrayal and her children, she grins with hatred. Not to show dilemma, but to express pity to those who dare question her decision making. No matter how close to home they stand. It is with authority and an invasion of personal space that she re-affirms a recurrence if she is ever on the stand again. Is it because I said it out loud? That now I quiver in fear of what I cannot fulfil. Is it the resilience of her will and determination to string together a family miles apart? Is it her ability to command and take charge? Is it her ability to disarm with words? Is it her ability to disarm without words? She knows him quite well. A familiar glare that mimics one from her children.

A cookout at the ‘dance on the Elder’s carnage’ lights up the sky. Amidst the cold night with a sparkling sky, an inferno bonfire ravages the effigy of the former head of office. Lorena sits still, her pen in hand, trying not to think of the obvious. Despite being set in the place of her childhood memories, her new portable office feels as strange as the land beneath it. In the stillness of it all, murmurs outside seem as inviting as the crackling fire. Is this another faint attempt to get her to attend? She feels unsettled by the silence of the state and its retaliatory branding of le jeune mouvement. Maybe it’s the deafening appreciation of Vihuela’s bestowed honor. A glorious future with its People intact. A glorious People with her future intact! Just like her modesty was undermined

In dissecting the tiny-desk conversation between Giovanni and Baldwin, one truth emerges with resounding clarity: a black/African writer bears a profound responsibility. While societal hypes claw for attention, demanding allegiance to fleeting causes, an African writer must rise above, reclaiming their voice as a tool of liberation and revolution. (Giovanni’s) call to curate words with intention and (Baldwin’s) stringent defiance against distractions form a dual mandate: to nurture authenticity and foster a love for the black existence that transcends generations. The writer, then, becomes both a historian and visionary—a force to remind future generations of their inherent value, untainted by the distortions of societal trends.

The authors question the application of “culturally competent practice” exclusively towards First Nations Australians (Indigenous People) and non-Western groups, arguing that this reinforces a binary of “self” (Western) and “other” (non-Western). They critique the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) Code of Ethics for prioritizing “technical and juridical imperatives” rooted in Western liberalism over a nuanced understanding of cultural dynamics. The article highlights a tension within the Code of Ethics between the value of “respect for persons” and the responsibility of “culturally competent, safe and sensitive practice.” By emphasizing the “other,” the authors argue that the Code of Ethics might inadvertently…
