In the opening episode of Major Dreams Minor Thoughts, Aresevé invites listeners into an inquiry that is both personal and scholarly—an exploration of how music, race, and identity intertwine across the landscapes of history and human perception. Returning to academia to pursue a second degree in music, she frames her creative journey as a study in intersectionality: how rhythm and reason, melody and meaning, converge within the lived experience of race.

Rejecting the conventional preamble, Aresevé instead begins with a question—a philosophical challenge to the persistence of racial constructs despite the clarity of scientific truth. If variation is celebrated as natural in the animal kingdom, why does humanity resist applying that same understanding to itself? Through this lens, she dissects the paradox of knowledge and ignorance, science and bias, art and exploitation.

With language that moves between reflection and research, Major Dreams Minor Thoughts emerges as both a chronicle of artistic pursuit and a critical meditation on society's enduring contradictions. It is the beginning of a dialogue—measured, lyrical, and deeply human.

Through thought-provoking commentary and vulnerable storytelling, Aresevé sets the tone for what Major Dreams Minor Thoughts represents—a reflective, challenging, and deeply personal conversation about art, culture, and the systems that shape them.
