“It is important and vital to keep that education for critical consciousness around intersectionalities so that people are unable to focus on one thing and blame one group, yet be able to look holistically at the way Intersectionality informs all of us: whiteness, gender, sexual preferences, etc. Only then can we have a realistic handle on the political and cultural world we live within.”
– Bell Hooks
Whether or not you are a part of an organization that recognizes Intersectionality or has a strong focus on Diversity & Inclusion, you have the power to take action. The most important thing you can do is speak up. Unconscious biases are an opportunity for education. They are also an opportunity to look at your own beliefs and feelings.
