Lesson Overview

22.06 – When You’re the Only One in the Room Who Looks Like You: Being the only person of your background in a classroom, team, or meeting can feel isolating, as though you carry invisible expectations to represent everyone like you. You may worry about saying the wrong thing or try to blend in to avoid attention. But your presence matters more than you know—it challenges stereotypes and opens doors for others. The key is grounding yourself in self-respect before walking into spaces that lack diversity. Find allies who value inclusion and share your experiences honestly with those you trust. Remember, your difference is not a weakness; it’s proof of strength and perseverance. The discomfort you feel often means you’re breaking new ground. Standing tall in such moments plants seeds for future belonging, turning what once felt lonely into leadership that inspires change.
