Short.Sharp.Stories anthology, Power: interview with Kamva Majo, author of "We cannot afford to be silent"
2025-08-19"With 'We cannot afford to be silent', I hope to annihilate the word missing in front of middle class. I do not believe that, as the middle class, we are missing at all. I hope to call out to other middle-class citizens that their complacency is not serving them, but rather hurting them and rendering them “missing”."
