You deeply pride yourself in your race, ethnicity, hair type, cultural background, gender orientation and/or sexual orientation.

You have a unique ability to take your natural way of being, DNA, and upbringing and thrive. You know that melanin, curly hair, he/she/they pronouns, hijabs and/or Latinx are the magical ingredients of your unique way of being. 

Your quality of life is greatly determined by your ability to openly express, share and bring awareness to these traits. 

Your greatest sense of satisfaction comes from knowing you’re being true to who you 
are, where you came from and helping others own their truth, too. 

You may be the “extra” one in your friends or family or the “go-to” person on all 
things heritage, culture, or style. 

Because you know how challenging it can be to simply be yourself, you don’t take this gift for granted. You realize it can come with a lot of judgement and 
discrimination from others and even a fear of oppression. 

You may not have had many mentors or teachers when you began this journey or 
have been discriminated against for just being you.
