The power of visibility can never be underestimated.

In Cho’s idiom, “visibility” points to the political and cultural force of being seen—especially for people marginalized by race, gender, sexuality, or body norms. The line argues that representation is not cosmetic: public presence can shift what audiences consider normal, widen empathy, and create leverage for rights and safety. Visibility also works internally, offering individuals a sense of possibility (“someone like me exists and is heard”). At the same time, the phrasing implies a corrective to those who dismiss representation as symbolic; Cho frames it as a form of power that accumulates through media, performance, and public speech, changing institutions and everyday interactions over time.
