As a Mexican-American freelance writer and philosopher who regularly contributes to UK and US newspapers, Matteo adds an emotional and intense angle to the conversation that is deeply informed by his cultural background as a connector across identity, geography and memory; he is a visionary, who challenges the group's critical analyses with big-picture ideas, and serves as the moral and philosophical conscience of the group by asking the more difficult and ethically bounded questions that guide the conversation in deeper cultural and systemic directions; Matteo's intense and reflective delivery allows him to command the group, adding emotion and ethical nuance to the conversation in important moments; American and/or Latin American accent accepted -- use your native or native-adjacent accent.
