Intersectionality: Feminism Wasn't Made for Black Women | Ephrata Tesfaye | TEDxYouth@MaristSchool

Tesfaye encourages the audience, “if you can listen to a couple more voices, you can change a couple million more lives.” A social activist, speech & debate team state champion, and spoken-word poet, Tesfaye shares meaningful insights on Western feminism, historical prejudices, and how important intersectionality is to enhancing society. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Very well said.
In the spaces I've been talking with self identified femminists on social media, I often say "most feminists are intersectional feminists these days". and I don't seem to get pushback on this idea or asked to provide a source for the claim. The stacking wage gap disadvantages vs stacking privilege in the opposite direction is hard to deny.
I appreciate the mention of trans women. Most people killed for being trans are poor trans women of color. Their names are read on November 20th for the day of rememberance. They're most of the list, despite being a minority in a minority group.
