COURSE REFLECTION
Racial Identity Development became paramount among the other tools gained in this course. While walking into the course aware of my privilege this course opened my eyes to so much more in painfully pleasant ways!
Most of what I originally identified with as "culture" were concepts included in the image above like ethnicity and language, but in this course I discovered that culture is so much more... to include understanding how you identify with your own culture.
