My name is Mikael, and I also go by my Igbo nickname Chuks. I'm a black (Igbo & Swedish) guy from America, and I taught English to elementary school kids in rural Taiwan for a year (2012-13). That was the year during which I ”awakened” to the larger geopolitical and social justice issues which shape our world and societies, and during that time I started blogging as BlackinAsia. I have since returned to the US "starting over" in many ways, as I reevaluate my life and various social issues through a newly critical perspective.

Overall, I use this space to discuss issues of social justice and to critically reflect on and review media and popular culture. This is also a space for my personal growth and learning, as I take in and observe the world and come to own my truth in turn.

Social inequalities are constructed and made and are not accidental.

Also check out my former podcast on social justice issues, HYPHENATED*.

hakyeond: I'm sure you get these kind of questions a lot and I'm sorry.... but I've had my heart set on teaching in either South Korea, Japan or Taiwan when I finish university for a long time now. Seeing your posts has made me realise the negative side of that- I'm white and australian and is there anyway I can still do this with out having a negative effect? (also, yes, i have a kpop blog but it has little to do with me wanting to do this, its something i wanted to do before i even listened to kpop)
