Ep 41: So...Who Are You? May 12, 2021

Show notes

“Soooo, who are you?” Probably the one of the most frequently asked questions. In the world we live in, we are often put in a situation where we have to prove, “we are who we say we are.” The inability to prove who we are can exclude us from property ownership, free movement, sometimes social protection, etc. In this episode Dr. Dodd raises the critical issue or concern of, NOT knowing who we are, our identity, and where we fit in. He again emphasizes that an individual is so much more than what they DO!
