NAME IT FIRST

Extension

For Marshallese Americans

Name the Identity Tensions Shaping Your Hyphenated Life

The Marshall Islands carry the weight of American nuclear testing. You carry the identity.

This is for:

For the Marshallese American person carrying the nuclear testing legacy, the Compact relationship, and a diaspora that America owes a debt it has not named.

You'll produce:your Your Marshallese American Identity Charter

The Name It First Experience

You live in a country that owes your people a debt it has never fully named. This workbook gives you space to name what Marshallese means to you. The output is not a policy document about the Compact. It is Your Marshallese American Identity Charter — a stress-tested and signed document of who you are carrying.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.

Sample questions

  1. What has your family's resilience taught you about who you are?
  2. What part of your Marshallese heritage do you feel most connected to and most proud to carry?
  3. What does a good and joyful life look like for you right now?
  4. What does home mean to you — and where or when do you feel it most?

The Essential path takes you to your finished document by the questions that matter most. The Full-depth path walks every question, every scenario, every angle. Both produce the same signed document — one just goes deeper on the way there.

Essential path

Shorter sessions. The questions that go directly to the document.

Full depth

Every question. Every scenario, every angle.

Paper doesn’t change its mind.

Thoughts change. Documents don’t. The answers you write are there when you return — unchanged by memory or mood.

You won’t just feel clearer — you’ll have written proof of what you decided.

Writing is the mechanism by which internal clarity becomes external evidence. Evidence you can return to, share, and hold someone — including yourself — accountable to.

Every question is answerable by everyone.

Every question in every title is answerable by the person for whom the assumed experience is true and by the person for whom it is not. No reader is excluded by how a question is built.
