FOR REAL is a podcast on human dignity, made by Resonate Productions.In this episode: assimmilation - infantilisation - helping a younger brother - the future of feminism - to express myself.Recorded on the 21st of November 2025, at BAM Brooklyn, Next Wave Festival, New York City.(01:25) Dorotea [°1970 - Ocean of Lingayen, Philippines]: “The teacher accused me of not doing my homework myself. How can an immigrant girl know how to type? I quit highschool. I assimmilated to the story he had of me."(07:10) Clara [°1994 - Stanford, Connecticut, USA]: “I am infantilized often. It kind of made me bitter over time. But there is a Haitian proverb: 'you will meet the man, or you'll meet your maker.'"(11:53) Danre Adekunle [°Ibadan, Nigeria]: “I am an eldest immigrant daughter, my parents defer decision making to me. My brother is soaring right now. I flew down to Atlanta each month to make sure he is in a good place, 24 flights in 12 months."(15:32) Anne [°1989 - Brazil]: "My mother didn't get to have a career. But she has one now, in art. Her medium is what comes from domestic work, which she was made to do when she was young. I also took her for granted as a servant. She had so much more to say, that I was missing. It didn't end there."(20:10) Greta [°2009 - New York City]: "I am in a feminism club at my school. I have been trying to ignore a lot of stuff, push it away. Being a young woman, feeling I have the future of feminism on my back... people don't realise how hard it is. What am I going to do with my future? How am I going to make this right?"(27:00) What do you deserve? A chain of 10 answers, with a gender shift in the middle after "for one single man to come up here and tell us what they deserve." Ending with: 'I deserve to express myself.'"For each episode of FOR REAL, we get together with a group of people in a theater, to look into what it means to matter as a person.
