Our identities — like gender, nationality, sexual orientation, and class — create a platform for community and connection. How do our identities evolve as we get older? Confronting the need to connect, to belong, can be a lifelong and ever-changing practice. Today on Youth on Rewind, youth creators Emerson Olson and Karla Ramirez examine their identities and how they fit into a broader world of connection. Join them in exploring the great question: where do I belong?

Hosted by Audrey Riggs and Ahjzae Dallas.
