INTERSECTIONS: how does identity and experience impact us?

“When we approach someone new, or even people who we already know, it’s so important to be empathetic and understanding of their experience.”
In episode 3, Arya and Fatima openly discuss the different aspects of their identity and how much value they find in recognising and being supported in their intersectional identities.
Together they explore intersectionality, communication and empathy, and advocacy and support.
QUESTIONS
1. What are some of the important intersectional parts of your identity?
2. How do different parts of our identity impact our lives?
3. In what ways does society make it hard for people who have multiple and minority intersectional identities, like Arya?
