I'm your host , Alex Gallner , and today we're going to be diving deep into a topic that's both personal and universal , talking about identity . Our sense of self is shaped by so many factors , from cultural backgrounds to our personal experiences , and today we're going to be jamming through five journal prompts to explore and understand the facets that make up our unique identities . You grab your journals , because here comes prompt number one . Let's start at the beginning . Think about your name . What does it mean ? Were you named after someone ?
