4. Indeed, that is the way we are going.

I love to listen to the voices of women who are different than me - I live such a privileged life, being a white woman in one of the most equal countries in the world. (And by equal, I don't just mean between the sexes, but class too.) One of the biggest problems Norway has, though, is it's homogeneous population, and the fact that people of color are a relatively recent minority group in Norwegian culture. So, I try to listen. And since I also spend parts of the year in the US, I want to follow American voices too, and Lupita Nyong'o has a very powerful voice, as we can see from her speech. It was a treat to be able to share it -I was so sure it would have been posted by you already!
