A term coined in the 1980s by Black feminist Kimberlé Crenshaw in the context of a legal challenge to the hiring practices of General Motors. Ms. Crenshaw and other legal scholars argued that the experiences of Black women in the workplace were not captured solely by the fact they were Black nor solely by the fact they were women. Rather, these workers’ experiences – like everyone’s experiences – are crafted by the simultaneous implications of these realities. While “intersectionality” is a big word, it represents a concept each us navigates daily. How we experience the world is shaped by the simultaneous impact of our multiple social identities and how the world values or doesn’t value these identities. Like an intersection, we inhabit the coming together of the many parts of ourselves.
