For the initial post, respond to one of the following options, and label the beginning of your post indicating either Option 1 or Option 2:

• Option 1: Can you describe a time when you felt that your race, ethnicity, and/or gender was giving you an advantage? Can you describe a time when you felt that your race, ethnicity, and/or gender was a disadvantage to you?
• Option 2: Explore how a person's or family's ethnic or gender identity can change over time. Interview a parent or grandparent about some of their family traditions that may no longer be part of the family practice, or that has evolved. Why might it have been stopped or changed?
