In the poem "PUT ME ON YOUR WATCHLIST (For Rachel)" below, Salzburg Global Fellow Thirusha Naidu responds to Rachel Hardeman being put on the professor watchlist for her work in antiracism. Both Thirusha and Rachel participated in the Salzburg Global session on "Centering on Equity: Transforming the Health Science Knowledge System."

Put me on your watchlist
I want to see it grow
Long long, long, longer
So, the whole world will know
Where to look for leaders
Which way you must go

Confuse me with your colours
I’ll die in black and white
Strong strong, strong stronger
More will join the fight
Quiet, they will gather
Until they seize the Light

Divide me your pronouns,
I am all; him, her, their and thine
Long long, long longer
The nameless wait to shine
It started with the witches
It ends with me and mine
Tell me who to love
I know who is for me
Strong strong, strong, stronger
Every love is free
Heart and bodies will not fold
So…Fuck off. Let me BE
