1. a. Reflect on messages you received in childhood/adolescence (either direct or indirect, verbal or nonverbal) from elder family members about other cultures, races, and religions.

3. b. Our names tell a lot about who we are and where we came from. Do you know what your first, middle, and last names mean or refer to? Where does your name come from? Why were you given these names? Have you ever thought of changing your name or have you changed your name? Why? Has anyone ever assumed you were a particular ethnicity because of your name? Were they correct? Partially correct? All wrong? (adapted from Korn, 2016)
