Exploring Identities (Spotlight On an Equitable World)

Self-awareness is an important life skill. You are a work in progress! And so is your identity. The person you become in the future can be imagined now and shaped by your values and goals. It’s equally important to recognize and accept the identities of those around us. Our society depends on the assets of diversity. Varied backgrounds and experiences contribute valued talents and strengths. As you grow older you see how your identity is connected to many groups by birth or choice. You may have connections to explore that you never knew existed. A brave person makes connections across differences and welcomes diversity. This title also explores the connection between identity, bias, and injustice, as well as how we can overcome those injustices.
