TED TALK SALON – Identity: the Power and Limitation of Labels @ SECULAR SATURDAY

How we see ourselves and our place in the world influences how we contribute to society. We all have a sense of identity, conscious or not, and that identity informs our role in our community, After viewing the TED videos noted below, the discussion will center around self-reflection and how identity relates to our confidence and generosity to the world around us. We will also consider how recognizing identities that are foreign to us is an opportunity to understand our fellow community members better.

The videos and discussion will be from 3:00—4:30. Afterwards, join other Secular Saturday attendees in the gallery for refreshments and socializing.

“My Identity Is a Superpower — Not an Obstacle” — America Ferrera
“Is Your Identity Given or Created?” — Marcus Lyon
