A major tenet of cultural humility is critical self-reflection. First, reflect on a cultural identity that is different from yours. Also, reflect on any challenging areas or areas of tension/unease you may experience. What is a cultural identity or set of cultural identities that you have not been exposed to or not exposed to in a positive light? Acknowledge intersectionality (we all represent multiple privileged and marginalized identities). Consider all areas of diversity, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, social class, physical ability or attributes, and national origin.

You may attend an event on campus or in your local community. Remember, you are not passing judgment on others; you are learning, practicing openness, other-orientation, and reflecting on your own journey towards cultural humility.
