Identity matters because it is the foundation of who you are ; your name(s), pronouns, boundaries, interests, etc. It's how a person can express themself and learn to move through the world. An individual can use their identity to tell a story (example; an individual who connects to their culture can express their culture)! Its also important to keep in mind the fact that identity is fluid - your identity can change quite often, and that's okay. No one is just one thing - people change all the time, and that's what makes identity so beautiful and important. Identity gives people the freedom to be themselves, heal from trauma, and encourage others to be who they are.
Identity is the thread that ties a person together. It allows people to not just survive - but to also thrive.

It's also important to remember that people of color - especially indigenous individuals - will sometimes experience queerness differently than white people will.
