Self-Expression



Self-expression is a powerful set of behaviors and choices that signal our unique perspective to those around us. These cues come from not just what we say, but how we say it; not just from how we dress, but how we move through social spaces. Intentionally fostering our self-expression is an active practice of identity and can be extremely empowering. However, even if we live in a culture that says it values self-expression, there are a thousand ways in which we are subtly discouraged from deviating too far from what is expected. Learning to become confident in expressing ourselves can take practice and support.
