That was the thing I found out when I did a lot of diversity work, was that people who came from Iowa said, ‘I have no culture, I’m from Iowa.’ There’s an Iowan culture,” St. Clair said. “It’s really about understanding our cultural heritage and identity, and then it’s also about understanding the contemporary struggles of marginalized groups.”
