What is your personal definition of culture, and where do you find joy in your life?

Your Assignment

  1. Watch the video in which Soul Science Lab explores what “culture” means to them as individuals and a group.
  2. Note where Chen and Asante bring up specific parts of their lives that help to define their culture (for example, food, music, stories, clothing).
  3. Create your own brainstormed list of all the ways that you think about culture in your life.
