Valerie Walker and the College Reunion
Privacy reflects Valerie Walker's journey in deciding how much of herself to reveal to people already in her life. Her internalized homophobia had made her hide parts of her authentic self and affection from female friends, worried about how her lesbian identity would be received. During the reunion, she opened up completely - sharing her fears, her love, and her vulnerability with her college friend. This represented a major adjustment in how much of her true self she was willing to share with someone who already knew her.
