Who are you?  How does your background and your identities change the D&I conversation? Our chemistry community is complex and for far too long, we have assumed that only the chemistry identity (your identification as a chemistry major or chemist) is the only and primary identity.  From our curriculum to our social activities, we have designed activities that cater to this one identity.  We have affinity groups that think about marginalized identities, such as LGBTQ+, black, Latinx, women, and disability/ability status; however, most people occupy multiple visible and invisible identities that work in concert with each other to give unique experiences.   When we think about concepts like social identity, intersectionality, and privilege, we can access and celebrate this complexity to create a more inclusive community through universal design.  This model allows us to confront our biases, to acknowledge our privileges and to understand and empathize with lived experiences different than our own.  <br/>
