Participants will be asked to think about and list elements of “who they are” and how these parts of our identity make us who we are. Ie. our cultures, race, sexuality, gender identity, belief systems, disability status, core values etc – all the things that affect and form us as people. As a group we will share and discuss these elements, how they intersect, and the ways they impact us positively and negatively. We’ll then explore the various roles we play within our communities, and how we feel about these roles and expectations, through writing and spoken word.
