Meet Bray. A 34-year-old gay black man who was adopted and raised by white parents. Questions of identity and navigating micro aggressions when others around you don’t is but a fraction of Bray’s experience navigating his identity in a white world. Social constructs of what is ‘Black’ or what is ‘White’ all come into question. How do you navigate social expectations and take pride in who you are when most don’t understand or relate to your experiences? 

Bray's story, much like a vibrant salad, is a blend of experiences, challenges, and triumphs. It serves as a poignant reminder that our identities are not defined by societal expectations, but by the journeys we undertake and the people who walk alongside us.
