INTERSECTIONALITY AND ALLYSHIP
Intersectionality highlights the fact that people can have more than one identity – such as race, gender, class, or sexuality – and those identities intersect to create unique experiences.
​
When Kimberlé Crenshaw coined the term intersectionality 30 years ago, she explained explained how it as how these overlapping identities and conditions “impact the way we experience life’s challenges and opportunities, the advantages we have, the biases we face".
