Racial/ Ethnic Identity

Our racial or ethnic identity drastically affects our experience of the world and how we interact with others. We can feel included, isolated, empowered, and oppressed in different situations. We benefit deeply from relationships with others who have similar and differing experiences from us.

Use the questions below as a self-reflective guide.

feel like you are treated differently because of your race or ethnicity?

experience barriers between you and others due to differing cultures

feel isolated or separate from the “norm”?

want to cultivate your sense of identity, incorporating your race or ethnicity in the midst of other cultures?

have trouble developing a support system that you feel truly “understand”?
