Abstract

This session will examine the complexities of being an underrepresented student-athlete in a predominantly white community. The student-athlete panel will discuss their sport identity and how it positively and negatively impacts their overall experience at Iowa State. They will dive into the role social media has played in giving them a voice in building their brand and identity with authenticity. They will also discuss how being a student-athlete has defined or has had an impact on their self-value and purpose.
