So many folks are forced to toggle across the multiple layers of who they are, and across the diverse spaces they occupy. They may be children of immigrants, 1.5 gen, of color; they may be disabled, neurodivergent, or queer. Regardless of how they identify, they exist in an in-between space while also trying to fit into the dominant culture. With a foot in multiple worlds, belonging fully to none, it can be hard to figure out where they fit in.Join Dr. Han Ren, psychologist and a hyphenate herself, for a conversation on navigating the in-between spaces of intersectional identities. As a 1.5 generation Chinese-American immigrant, neurodivergent mind, and mother, Dr. Ren seeks to offer solutions for those with intersectional identities to fully express who they are in any and every environment. She shares insights from her latest book, The Hyphenated Life and discusses how existing in marginalized bodies affects the ways folks show up in dominant culture and predominantly white spaces. She offers tools, stories, and solutions for understanding and living with the intricacies of multicultural identity development.Han Ren, PhD, is a hyphenated professional: licensed clinical and school psychologist, speaker, educator, and content creator. She is also a 1.5-generation Chinese-American immigrant, neurodivergent mind, mother, partner, and only child.
