This research attempted to recognize the complexity of identity construction by acknowledging the myriad of factors that contribute to the human experience beneath surface identity. Historical trauma, marginalization, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=14135\" target=\"_blank\">Virginia Racial Integrity Act of 1924<\/a> were also explored using <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Symbolic_interactionism\" target=\"_blank\">Symbolic Interaction<\/a> as a theoretical frame. Based on the findings, counselors are reminded to remain open to the possibility that there are people who present a certain way, externally, due to external features or socialization yet, internally, identify in a different way. This study adds a substantive dimension to theories of identity formation that place primary focus on spirituality vs. racial, historical and societal constructions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Influence of Spirituality on the Implicit Identity of Racial African American Women of Ethnically Cherokee Ancestry Argosy University, Washington, D.C.
