Cultural Wealth Checklist

The Cultural Wealth Checklist is a self-assessment tool developed by Heather Kennedy and Daniel Martinez, inspired by Tara J. Yosso’s concept of community cultural wealth. It invites individuals to reflect on their personal experiences across aspects such as aspirational, familial, social, linguistic, resistant, and navigational capital. By marking statements that resonate with their lives, participants can gain insight into their advantages and community support. This checklist is designed to foster self-awareness and celebrate diverse cultural backgrounds. Reflection questions at the end encourage deeper consideration of one’s experiences and insights.
