My id.

I am sticking with my identity.

I'm here to check out my identity

YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE ME. I'M MARTI N. YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE ME!

Ali Abdulemam 'I Have Not Lost My Identity.

Record it I am Shadia Mansour and the kufiya is my identity.

like I was looking for my identity?

You see, Mr. Asagai, I am looking for my identity!

I'd appreciate the return of my identification papers please.

That's why, after 10 years of hiding my identity,

And if I give you this information directly, it's a very different type of identity than if you were to try to go through and try to get bits and pieces.

As an Israeli born Christian Arab, my identity is complex and confusing.

And you didn't use my ID to get into the morgue?

When encrypting emails, always also encrypt to the certificate of my own identity

You guys just happened to go to the morgue the same night my old ID badge shows up.

And I was thinking, was Ghana searching for its identity like I was looking for my identity?

I felt the dignity and smelled my real identity which I almost lost inside prison, when they tortured and threatened me.

Now this became my new secret identity, and the first thing I did as a slayer was call my twin sister

And what happened was that New York City, to a degree, ate my identity because people began to copy it.

_Z_ My position toward the former Ben Ali regime necessitated utmost vigilance from my part regarding my identity.

So, for me nothing has really changed despite appearances and this is why I still keep my anonymity.

In the past, I ve had to identify myself, along with my husband, before the police.

So I was living in constant fear that my identity could be revealed, and I would be repatriated to a horrible fate, back in North Korea.

As a result, I knew I needed to make my own stories about this experience, new narratives to reclaim my identity.

And what happened was that New York City, to a degree, ate my identity because people began to copy it.

Now, I have my own definition of the identity that I love and the main part of this identity is not lost . It is BAHRAINI .

My hair is Afro Kinky so that means it's messy, but if I wear weave then I have issues with my identity.

If my family, though, had been the kind of people to believe in therapy, they probably would have diagnosed me as something like gender dysmorphic and put me on hormones to stave off puberty.

I was working to transform these internalized responses, to transform the preconceptions that had so shaped my identity when I started using a wheelchair, by creating unexpected images.

At the time I was just beginning to emerge from this eight year personal identity crisis zigzag that saw me go from being a boy to being this awkward girl that looked like a boy in girl's clothes to the opposite extreme of this super skimpy, over compensating, boy chasing girly girl to finally just a hesitant exploration of what I actually was, a tomboyish girl who liked both boys and girls depending on the person.

But a year later, I met another musician who had also studied at Juilliard, one who profoundly helped me find my voice and shaped my identity as a musician.

See, I was also a child actor, which doubled up the layers of the performance of my identity, because no one knew that I was actually a girl really playing a boy.

Well, I really know who I am now because the Wall Street Journal says that the Stock Exchange closed at this many points.

Now I have learned that my place is not just in the West or in Africa, and I'm still searching for my identity, but I saw Ghana create democracy better.

Who am I, indeed, and why should I accept people reducing me and the richness of my identity to only one of its dimensions?

To my amazement, the way I was received by the doctors prior to the actual testing was pretty welcoming. I found that they didn't ask for a name, but rather for a pseudonym and a birthdate to be my identity there.

I felt they were targeting my identity, not targeting me personally. Those officers who imprisoned and tortured me didn t know me, hadn t met me before. They had a problem with me being different from them.

And what I find when I sit in that state is that what my identity is, whatever it is, is beyond perception, it cannot be perceived, but it is still experienced.

If I was born in Columbia I would have been Columbian, so does that mean that my identity as an Arab and a Syrian is constructed? I think so, but that does not negate it's importance or power.

Once I smuggled a Christmas tree into Eastern Aleppo. It was a symbol to defend my identity against ISIS.

We don't go home at the end of the day and think, Well, I really know who I am now because the Wall Street Journal says that the Stock Exchange closed at this many points.

I began to feel that I was losing my identity, that the person I call Clay, the person who put me in this place, the person who volunteered to go into this prison because it was a prison to me it still is a prison to me I don't look on it as an experiment or a simulation.

I felt really upset, as if one of the most important components of my identity, and even my existence, had been ignored. The lives of my family, my friends, my loved ones living within the borders of the country where I was born were of no concern to the people in the country where I was living and studying.
