Racial identity development

The journey through which people come to understand their racial identity—shaped by family messages, lived experience of discrimination or privilege, peer relationships, and critical moments of recognition or rupture. Racial identity development is not a one-time arrival but an ongoing negotiation between how others see you and who you understand yourself to be.
