I found the entire concept of intersectionality interesting and enlightening. I had not entirely thought of the concept before listening to Kimberle. Race and gender issues. How stereotypes of more than one
variable can play out. Identity is a relationship between people.
Discrimination can happen based on many factors. I was envious that her family talked about social justice issues at home, as dinner conversation. I would love to have these types of conversations with my children some day, once they are old enough to communicate with me. I would love to make it as normal as it was for her. In regards to my students, I want to build these conversations into our classroom culture so my students are comfortable to have these conversations around race, gender, identity and feel as though my room is a safe space for them.
