Lesson Overview

28.26 – Being the “Only One” in the Room (Race, Culture, Size, etc.): Being the only one who looks, sounds, or thinks differently can make any space feel heavier. You might second-guess how much to share, how to speak, or whether you truly belong. But difference isn’t weakness; it’s perspective that expands every room you enter. The discomfort of standing out can slowly turn into quiet authority when you choose authenticity over blending in. Every time you bring your full self, you teach others that diversity is strength, not novelty. Belonging isn’t about sameness; it’s about safety in being real. Find allies who see your value without conditions, and remember that courage grows through repetition. You were never meant to disappear—you were meant to remind people that progress begins with someone brave enough to be visible.
