Cultural Identity and Self Advocacy

Starting college can feel like stepping into a whole new world. For students from diverse backgrounds, balancing self-discovery with cultural identity can be both exciting and challenging. At #TecoGuide, we believe that your heritage is your strength. 💪 Staying connected to it, through cultural clubs, traditional practices, or simply keeping in touch with loved ones, can create a sense of belonging in unfamiliar spaces.

Equally important is self-advocacy. Speak up for your needs, seek help when necessary, and don’t hesitate to express your perspective. Remember, professors and campus staff are there to support you! And if you ever feel isolated, there are centers and professionals dedicated to ensuring your safety and well-being.
