This essay started as frustration and ended as a mirror. I’ve spent years blaming the system for not seeing my contributions. Writing this forced me to ask how much of that invisibility I created by waiting too long to share. ‘Acoustic attribution’ is the concept I wish someone had named for me twenty years ago. Which archetype do you think you carry, and has it affected how your ideas get credited?
