Breast Cancer Awareness Cultural Identity (CID)
Dining Commons Cox Room
Tuesday, November 3 from 6:15 p.m.

Mrs. Motyka and Mrs. Hill will share their own experiences dealing with breast cancer tomorrow night in the Cox Room at 6:15 p.m.

1) CIDs are a chance for Sharing: Our cultural identity is a powerful recognition of who we are and there is brain science behind why it is healthy to do.
2) These shared experiences make us a stronger community.
3) Each person’s story is their own, and it is only true for them at the moment they share. It may change over time as we are all changing.
4) It is understood that these cultural identities should stay in the room as a safe space, and some may share something there that they don’t want to share with others.
5) We are putting ourselves out there and are making ourselves vulnerable by sharing, so we need to respect that vulnerability by listening respectfully.
6) We understand that we are all busy, and it may happen that you need to leave during the talks. Some may join us during the talks too.
7) If someone is affected by any of the stories shared, there are adults to speak with like Mr. Spearing, Ms. Brown, your advisors, Mr. Thompson, etc.
