We love a good underdog story. The unhoused teen who becomes valedictorian. The rapper who escapes poverty. The shepherd who becomes a prince. We hold these stories up as proof that the system works.
But what if they actually prove the system is broken?
In this series kickoff, we’re deconstructing the "American Dream." We’re looking at why Joseph wasn't just a hero—he was an exception to the rule who had to hide his identity just to survive. If we want true solidarity, we have to stop celebrating the exceptions and start asking why the rule is so broken.
Let’s talk about Kendrick Lamar, Egyptian prisons, and the real cost of "making it."
