Comment by Jordan A. on June 20, 2011 at 10:29am Hi everyone! I have been doing a roundup of South Asian identity posts over at my blog The Cowation this week and I am asking my readers and the general community this question:
What or who in your life has made you think about your identity, for good or for ill? And what did you value most about that experience?
And this applies to any identity, not just nationality or racial identity. I will be putting up all the answers I get next Sunday on my blog, so if you have any thoughts on this question, please let me know either through SheWrites or on the blog itself! Thanks for any and all of your feedback.
