How can you get a stronger sense of your own identity? Whether it's a full blown identity crisis or a vague lack of clarity on who we are, most of us struggle to see who we are at some stage of our lives. Transracial adoptees are, unsurprisingly, particularly conflicted. Listen in as Shelley shares how she's developed a stronger sense of self. Let her insights guide you to clarity.
Here's a link to the poem Shelley reads https://www.shelleyrottenberg.ca/writing
Shelley Rottenberg (she/her) is a transracial and international adoptee. She was born in China at the time of the One Child Policy and adopted to Canada at eight months of age. With a Master of Arts in Human Geography, Shelley has a passion for learning about people’s lived experiences and intersectional identities across space and time. She is currently working in qualitative research and volunteers with a number of adoptee-focused organizations in her spare time.
