White people be like how DARE a Princeton Asian grad have the same thoughts as a white person! It’s plagiarism! #intersectionalfeminist #intersectionalitymatters #intersectionalfeminism https://www.instagram.com/p/CLiC9JZLWzU/?igshid=1be7kdczxkx5z

This applies to any intersection as well, those who do anti racist work encounter the same issues. All forms of oppression at any intersection merge to centralise power on top, the wealthy, the privileged, the influential. Decentralisation is power to the people, where each group can rise up to combat that specific intersection, which benefits feminism as a whole. #intersectionalfeminism #intersectionality #intersectionalitymatters #intersection https://www.instagram.com/p/CAS7fBhB30A/?igshid=yoi0xgqlxfwk

[link in bio] FINALLY! Introducing Swerve + Swirl - a lifestyle blog at the intersection of life's sharp turns, mixed race experiences, queerness + wellness. This month's post "5 Life Lessons Learned from Being Queer, Mexican and Pakistani" is a vulnerable and authentic glimpse into how my intersectional identity has shaped my mindset and my patience. cuz LAWD knows it was frustrating AF growing up! 🍨 Many friends and industry folks had encouraged me to start a blog a while ago, but I just wasn't ready. I wasn't even close to healing from past traumas, figuring myself out, etc. Well today, I'm def healed but still figuring myself out, but the difference now is that NOW I KNOW that understanding all my rainbow-sprinkled parfait layers is a never-ending journey. Stepping out into this light knowing I don't have to have it all figured out right now and neither do you...we are ENOUGH as we are. Would LOVE to hear your thoughts and comments ❤️ link in bio. 🍨 #MexiStani #swerveandswirl #mixedkidsrock #interfaith #intersectionalitymatters #intercultural https://www.instagram.com/p/B7mBkjApCKd/?igshid=1ol41jd0fsk93

Thank you @levistraussco for having @jeanieyou + I, @allforyouproductions come in to speak on Being Intentional with Intersectional Advocacy at this year's #violaconference @fortmasoncenter 👖 It was a privilege to hear everyone's takeaways on how to implement practices to support Intersectionality. Some included having gender-neutral stores not limited to having men's and women's sections, marketing + advertising that represents the FULL spectrum of body shapes and more diverse leadership that reflects the employee + customer base. OMG SO PROUD + EXCITED for this! #changestartswithYOU 👖 #bethechange🌎 #intersectionalitymatters #levistrauss #corporateresponsibility #socialchange #moralsandethics #transisbeautiful #qtpocartist #qtpocstoryteller #mexistani #lgbtqiaplus #rainbowpower #equalityforall (at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2KLHCXJGhL/?igshid=3ue5b8enrsg7

Intersectionality as a concept began with Kimberlé Crenshaw, who coined the phrase to discuss the unique discrimination that people of color and women face in her Stanford Review article titled Mapping the Margins: Intersectionality, Identity Politics, and Violence against Women of Color. “Although racism and sexism readily intersect in the lives of real people, they seldom do in feminist and antiracist practices. And so, when the practices expound identity as women or person of color as an either/or proposition, they relegate the identity of women of color to location that resists telling,” Crenshaw wrote. When feminism asks people to focus on women without taking into account their other identities that contribute to their oppression, it may prescribe the wrong treatment to the problem. When the problems of women of color and the problems of white women are treated the same way, the outcomes of the scenarios will be wildly different because the circumstances are wildly different.
