Dear First Gen,
Has a friend or family member you have known for 5-10 years made you feel unlike yourself? Has someone close to you asked, "who are you?" I am proudly not the same person I was when I left college, graduate school, or law school. It was not intentional, but my new persona took form with each new life experience. A fellow first gen told me once that I carried myself differently when I celebrated events. I was also questioned about my interests in certain leisure activities. Who knew it would invite so many puzzled looks and thoughts? Former First Lady #MichelleObama will publish her first book this year and it is entitled #Becoming. In the video below, I relate the title of her book to me consistently being asked at various stages in my life, who are you? I share how I really feel when asked. Tell me: What is your opinion of this question? How have you responded? Fellow Riser, Irnande
