Components of Cultural Identities

I identify as a White woman who grew up in a lower-income family and experienced the realities and challenges of poverty. These experiences have shaped my understanding of resilience, access, opportunity, and the importance of being seen and heard. I value diversity and the richness that different cultures, identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences bring to our community. I believe in treating every person with equality, integrity, respect, and dignity, while recognizing that each person’s experiences are unique.
