Wyoming Identity: Who Are We?

Welcome to Episode 1! Lucas Fralick, Chloe Flagg and Emy diGrappa are excited to share their Wyoming identity stories with you in our first episode. We want you to get to know us at Wyoming Humanities. There are so many fascinating, interesting people, history and stories in our state. So we are going to keep asking our Wyoming people to get in touch by email or phone so that we can connect with you and learn YOUR story! We started off on our Winds of Change journey talking about "identity." We are exploring the evolving identity of Wyoming. We want to explore Wyoming's identity and YOUR identity living in Wyoming. Our sense of identity and belonging is impacted by various factors, including our experiences, relationships and our environment. Identity intersects with our sense of community, our connection to the land and how we work through change today.

We are exploring the evolving identity of Wyoming. Identity defines who you are. It is a self-representation of your interests, relationships, community, social activity and much more. Our sense of identity and belonging is impacted by various factors, including our experiences, relationships and our environment. The journey to find identity and belonging can often be a struggle. Since we ask ourselves, who am I, where do I belong? Where do I fit in? Identity intersects with our sense of community, our connection to the land and how we work through change today.

Here are two Wyoming narratives that challenge Wyoming identity and the need for change. Shawn Reese and Grace Cannon. Shawn Reese is our executive director at Wyoming Humanities. As our ED, Shawn was very keen on supporting this podcast that is focused on Wyoming's history and stories of the people who make Wyoming home. His career has been marked by public service planning and development. In his narrative he gives us an interesting perspective on culture and change in Wyoming. Grace Cannon from Sheridan talks about community identity and growing up in Wyoming. And she describes herself as a community-based theater artist, but she didn't always live in Sheridan. She left the state, has lived and worked in Chicago, New York City and Berlin, but she came back and speaks about why.
