#ppd-wheel

[overthinkingandalwayshungry]

I chose to complete to create my diversity wheel. I decided to do this because I felt that as there is only one of me and I am an individual. Based off the topic of privilege, I mean this by saying to better understand our privileges, we first have to look within our selves and try to see what we may forget or be blind to. The parts of us that are privileged. Privilege being something that I can have or gain that I’ve done absolutely nothing for. I think this wheel is to keep a reminder to myself who I am, what I may not see day to day, and what might be changing years from now. I’d actually find it interesting to see myself compared to the person I will be years from this point. However this a good point to start, a stepping stone into a better me. We can always grow and change as people. These are just a few short ways that I’ve been able to think about identity, privilege and marginality.

I decided to do the Diversity Wheel because it got me thinking about everything that has been brought up in my life. I added a little bit more to the outer circles like parents marital status, where I am at sibling wise (oldest, middle, etc.) and also my income status growing up. Looking at this really allowed me to reflect on my life, how I grew up to where I'm at now...it's really scary how the society plays a role on all of this stuff you don't think about.

I chose to do the diversity wheel prompt to understand myself more. It made me look at things deeply that I never have before. It also helped me further understand the differences between gender and gender identity. I chose to not add a separate space for body size & stature as I included them in my physical abilities/qualities. Some sections ere easy to complete and others, like gender identity & sexual orientation, took more exploration and thought internally.
