The Pain Resurfaced
No full textInformation about myself:
My name is Andy Kongolo and I’m 22 years old. I’m a junior at Bennington College and I study Acting. I make music as a hobby and I hope to turn it into a full time job.
Abstract:
I wrote this poem when I was going through a difficult time in my life. That moment forced me to reconsider some of the choices I had made for my life and how they were affecting me. One of them was my absolute denial to see a therapist because I thought it was for the weak and broken and I didn’t want to think of myself as that. It was a tough process of letting go of certain ideas of myself and of the world that I was holding because I thought holding those positions made me congruent with my identity. But deep down, I wasn’t sure what my identity was. I was searching and searching in order to find myself. After going through that, I know that my experience is not unique. A lot of people go through what I have gone through, but it’s often not talked about. I was lucky enough to ‘heal’ myself through music and long periods of self-reflection and brutal honesty towards myself, but I know for many that’s not the case. Especially as a young black man coming all the way from Africa. I think it’s important to raise awareness around mental health for everyone. For people of every race and every gender. We all struggle in some ways and telling stories of people who struggle with it makes it an open topic and encourages people to be upfront about it.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/blackalbummixtape/1034/thumbnail.jp
The Nature of Progress
Get PDFThis work explores my experience living through the current political atmosphere as a butch lesbian. For my entire life, queer politics have been debated and scrutinized whenever and wherever possible. Gay marriage was only legalized nine years ago, and it continues to be a relevant issue in American politics--alongside debates over transgender rights and queerness in media. Cultural acceptance and social justice do not happen overnight for any marginalized group. This piece explores what a changing culture looks like in the day-to-day life of someone affected by it. The piece also explores themes of community, feminism, beauty standards, and social justice as a whole.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/blackalbummixtape/1004/thumbnail.jp
