Abstract
Throughout our presentation, we hope that the telling of our stories will deconstruct the idea that identity is shaped by phenotypic characteristics, rather than the hundreds of stories and experiences that form someone’s identity. We aim to demonstrate the ways in which storytelling can be used as an avenue for fostering a sense of belonging and community.
