There are many different elements that make up a person’s identity. Racial identity is especially important to an individual’s makeup as this is what often identifies them both socially and culturally. Race offers other implications for how an individual thinks, feels, and behaves. Some individuals feel pride based on their race, while others experience feelings of judgement and insecurity. Building strength and increasing confidence about one’s racial identity is vital to an individual’s physical character and emotional well-being.
