Presentation

As I presented today, it kind of felt good releasing the experience I've had with being racially subjected. Not only have I been racially subjected, but as you guys heard today and probably all know I stutter extremely badly, and it causes me to never want to speak publicly. Today was extremely hard, because I've always been treated differently because of it. I never know what to expect because of it so I'm always tense about it. I now understand what these authors are getting at when they talk about language, gender and culture. It's not just how you look, or your persona, or your background, but it's your life also. Sometimes you carry yourself in a way that you can't control, and it allows people to think you're different because you aren't exactly like the others. Like I said today, I refuse to disidentify myself to try and fit into what society expects of everyone, but to be myself and be proud and embrace myself as who I truly am.
