Wow! Firstly, I am also interested in applying ED for Brown for art history, so regardless of my input, I hope we’ll be sharing classes.
Academically you seem as good as they come, especially with your large AP course load. Your ECs are solid, and your SAT is right where they want. I think your awards and summer programs show depth and exploration into your general area of study which is good as well.
Remember that one of the Brown essays is about your intended area of study and the open curriculum so make sure you can explain it. Just putting that out there since you’re not 100% about your major. Also, this is a minor note, but colleges might wonder why you didn’t take the writing portion of the SAT as a strong writing and English person. I think overall it’ll be a non factor though.
For the common app essay your idea has great potential, but you’ll need to construct it carefully to avoid cliche. Many people face adversity in the form of slurs so you’ll need to be very poignant with wording and impactful in what you learned. With your strong English background I have no doubt you’ll put together great essays. Overall, I think you have a solid shot, though of course it’s a crapshoot.
