What shapes us—without us even noticing?

We’re looking for voices that challenge assumptions, tell uncomfortable truths, or reveal what’s been hiding in plain sight. Whether it’s in the body, society, technology, or thought—invisible forces are everywhere.

This year, we’re especially seeking perspectives from outside the usual bubbles. That means:

• You don’t have to be a “speaker”—but you should have lived it.
• You don’t have to agree with us—but you should be honest, thoughtful, and bold.
• We don’t want shock value—we want truths we’ve been avoiding.
