Ep 06: The Lens of Intersectionality with Jennifer White-Johnson

“Intersectionality is a lens through which you can see where power comes and collides, where it interlocks and intersects. It’s not simply that there’s a race problem here, a gender problem here, and a class or LBGTQ problem there. Many times, that framework erases what happens to people who are subject to all of these things.” - Kimberlé Crenshaw  @racismuntaught
