Well ! I never ever thought of marginalisation as a self-chosen option.

I thought of it as what those in power mostly Whyte dudes and duresses along with the compliant tokens of colour, determined did not follow their rules and they shoved my work/me to the margins/ booted me out of academia .

So that is actually a very exciting reclaiming

to actively choose marginalisation... and be proud of it...

Certainly in terms of Liberation Works, I have no interest to grow big and attract a lot of 'followers', by appealing to what the fads and fashions are - relating to say, 'self-help/ making money online' where people seem to be writing the same old stuff, again and again...

So Liberation Works will be proudly marginal; to use your expression - not seeking popularity but rather writing and thinking and connecting with a purpose and vision that refuses to 'go with the flow'.
