    An event that we held as the Hmong Organization Promoting Education, we talked about Building Our Future. This event focused on the international abusive marriages within the Hmong community and I had discussed with other Hmong male-identifying students what we could do to support the Hmong women and those who identify as Hmong LGBTQ+. From this event, I began developing my social justice identity and gradually started engaging in discussions with social justice topics such as privilege, prejudice, and many more. It eventually led me to pursuing a Racial and Ethnic studies minor that has contributed greatly to my knowledge of institutional influences and the inequalities that exist within American society.

  • Personal Identity In Social Work

    1353 Words  | 6 Pages

    Who I identify as, including identifying as a social worker once I graduate, will have some level privilege and power attached to the chosen identities. Gelfand, Sillivan, and Steinhouse (2002) noted that there are may dimensions that influence our personal and professional relationships with others, and these dimensions shape how we see and interact with, include or exclude them, and ways that we oppress or discriminate against them. As a social worker whose clients share my same identity, we may benefit by my having a shared understanding of cultural norms and expectations to reach a common goal. For clients who share commonalities with me, we may benefit by being able to work more collaboratively and possibly a more trusting relationship than one that must be built over time. However, just as similarities can be empowering, I must remember that the client knows best despite our shared identities that may speak otherwise.
