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 relate to your experiences?

Let's say your father is from Mexico. Your Mother is from Jamaica and you are raised in Scotland. You move to Canada to settle and make roots. But what do you root to? Your father's heritage? Your mother's? What about your Scottish upbringing? This is a Third Culture Kid.

How do you define yourself? Is it based on where you originated from? Your ancestors? Your race? In a colonial system, why must we have to defend who we are? Isn’t how we self-identify enough?
