In this episode, we explore the powerful intersection of memory, identity, and digital escape through the lens of Kishonna L. Gray’s personal essay “Dear God, Make Me a Bird, So I Can Fly Far Far Away from Here.” From childhood afternoons spent playing Hitman with friends to rediscovering the series as a source of solace in graduate school, Gray reflects on how this iconic game franchise became more than entertainment—it became a passport to the world and a catalyst for academic curiosity. Join us as we unpack how Hitman offered not just gameplay, but a way to cope, connect, and imagine beyond borders.
