A Seacoast teen’s personal experience with microaggressions and the impact they had.
Microaggressions often go unnoticed when they appear in our everyday conversations and lives. These seemingly harmless remarks or actions that marginalize and belittle can have a great impact on individuals. Here, a 15 year old resident of the Seacoast shares a unique perspective about how she rose above these not-so-positive experiences by instead exploring how they can serve as catalysts for personal growth and building endurance.
