Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to help raise awareness of your multiple identities and assess your understanding of these identities.

Directions: Reflect on all of the socio-cultural identities that make you the unique individual you are. Consider identities like race, gender, ethnicity, sexual identity, disability status, physical appearance, citizenship, nationality, religious affiliation, socio-economic status, and any other cultural group memberships to which you belong.

Make a list of all the identities that are you are most and least aware.

Then, to visualize this task, using a method of your choice, draw a circle and then draw a “slice” in the circle that represents your awareness of each identity. The size of each slice reflects how often you think about the social groups that identify you.

For the socio-cultural identities that you are most aware, section off a larger slice.
For the socio-cultural identities that you do not think about daily, give them a smaller slice.

In the end, your pie might look something like the following examples:
