I was asked to explain “who i am” in one of my classes today. I responded

I am the hundreds of years of oppressed,
I am the under represented,
I am the journey that my ancestors had taken,
I am the chance of hope,
I am the son of a son, of a son, of a son, of a son, of a son, of a son, of a son, of a son, of a son, of a son, etc.
I am the struggle of my parents,
I am the motherfucker you overlooked,
I am the “yellow peril”, you read in your textbooks,
I am the I ain’t going to take your shit anymore,
I am the we are going to change the status quo
I am what most of the world looks like
So get use to it.
