My ethnicity because it is a big part of who I am, and how I grew up. It is a stable identity because Hmong is my ethnicity, and I cannot change my ethnicity.

Which identities do you usually draw strength or pride from? Explain.

My family structure or my ethnicity, just because I come from a big family, and not many people know about or what my ethnicity is.

Which identities would you like to learn more about? Discuss.

My ethnicity and body type because I actually don’t know as much about my ethnicity, then I think I should. And for my body type, I think I need a better understanding of how to work with clothes and what looks good with my body type.

Describe your experience with socialization related to any one identity.

Being able to talk to other girls more easily because I am also a girl.

Do any of your identities make your feel unsafe or vulnerable? Explain.

I would say being a woman because although there are lots of unsafe things that happen to everyone, I feel like woman has a higher chance of feeling unsafe in situations.

As you reflected on your identities, were there any identity categories that you wish had been included that were not? What are they?

I don’t have any.
