In this video, The Power of Diversity Within Yourself (Hwang, 2018) Rebecca Hwang describes her journey of understanding and accepting her own diverse context and how she found her place in the world. As you watch this video, reflect on:
The characteristics that make you unique and the diverse contexts of the families in your program.
How can you bridge the gap between these unique backgrounds to bring everyone together?
Rebeca Hwang has spent a lifetime juggling identities -- Korean heritage, Argentinian upbringing, education in the United States -- and for a long time she had difficulty finding a place in the world to call home. Yet along with these challenges came a pivotal realization: that a diverse background is a distinct advantage in today's globalized world. In this personal talk, Hwang reveals the endless benefits of embracing our complex identities -- and shares her hopes for creating a world where identities aren't used to alienate but to bring people together instead.
