The document discusses identity, inclusion, and being an ally. It provides an overview of identity development and the various dimensions that make up one's identity, such as race, gender, religion, etc. It also discusses the importance of recognizing one's own identity and becoming an ally for oppressed groups. The goal is to end oppression through support and advocacy. Key aspects of being an ally are using one's privilege to stand up for others, even if it comes at a personal cost, because promoting inclusion and justice is morally right.

5. Who Am I?
As you hear about identity categories and
groups, think about the following questions:
– How do you identify? Who taught you
these terms and what they mean?
– How do you feel about your identity
group(s)? Proud? Ambivalent?
Embarrassed? Ashamed? Why do you
think you feel this way?
– What would it feel like if you were
enthusiastically affirmed for your identity
group(s)?
