        Summary
        This thesis embarks on a deeply personal exploration of decoloniality through an autoethnographic lens, interweaving decolonial theories with lived experiences to illuminate the complexities of personal decolonisation. By engaging with the works of Frantz Fanon, bell hooks, Aníbal Quijano, Walter Mignolo, and more, it delves into the psychological, cultural, and systemic dimensions of colonialism and its enduring impacts. The central research question investigates how an autoethnographic examination of internalised coloniality and intersectional identity formation contributes to reclaiming and understanding plural identities.
