MR. PRIVILEGE TEACHES ABOUT HUNGER, POVERTY

N SEPTEMBER 2024, I FOUND MYSELF IN AN UNEXPECTED SITUATION: I WAS “HELD HOSTAGE” BY AN ENTITY WHIMSICALLY NAMED MR. PRIVILEGE. HE FORCED ME INTO A DISASTER SIMULATOR WHERE MY WATER WAS SCARCE, MY LIGHT EXTINGUISHED, AND MY SHELTER STRIPPED AWAY. IT WASN’T A PHYSICAL ABDUCTION BUT A SELF-IMPOSED JOURNEY TO CONFRONT THE COMFORTS WE OFTEN TAKE FOR GRANTED. BY LIVING WITHOUT BASIC NECESSITIES, I SHARED A REALITY THAT SO MANY WORLDWIDE FACE DAILY.
