Please introduce yourself!
Professor Appiah writes in Color Conscious: “We make up selves from a tool kit of options made available by our culture and society….We do make choices, but we don’t determine the options among which we choose” (p. 96). Please share something about your own identity, including significant choices you have made thus far in your life.
