In How It Feels to Be Colored Me, what conclusion does the narrator come to about her identity, and what quote stands out the most as an example?

In this essay, Hurston contrasts herself with other writers from the Harlem Renaissance, whom she characterizes as members of the "sobbing school of Negrohood." She does not see her blackness as a tragedy but, instead, as another facet of her wondrous being. Interestingly, she feels more pity for her "white neighbor" who lives in fear of black people (the "brown specter") based on false, racist beliefs.
There are moments in which Hurston feels her black identity intuitively, such as when she is at a jazz club with a white friend and feels the rhythm of the drum in a way that her friend does not. There are also moments in which she contends with discrimination, which outrages her less for the burden of racial ostracism than it does for the fact that someone "could deny themselves the pleasure of [her] company."
However, Hurston concludes with a sense of herself as "a brown bag of miscellany propped against a wall" on which there are "other bags, white, red, and yellow." This coincides with the notion she expresses earlier of being "merely a fragment of the Great Soul that surges within the boundaries." By comparing herself to a bag, she sees herself as a vessel that carries many contents of character—"[p]our out the contents and there is discovered a jumble of small things priceless and worthless." This is to say, like any human being, she contains precious qualities and flaws—things that are key to uplifting humanity, and aspects of being that we could do without.
It's important, too, to pay attention to Hurston's title as a statement on her identity. She privileges her own feeling and not that of the collective; she did not entitle the essay "How it Feels to be Colored" but emphasizes her own personal feeling about being black and her selfhood. She is not merely "colored," but "colored me."
