‘’I was thinking about class as a cultural signifier and what is the culture of class. And I think one of the things that is different is the resolution of issues and problems and how to stand up for yourself and self-advocate. And thinking about the times where it’s gone wrong for me and almost being given permission by this commission, I guess, to realise that there’s actually nothing wrong with the way that I approach things. It’s the cultural way I was raised and for me to resolve issue and conflict in someone else’s way is to betray my own cultural experience.’’ - Daneka
