Deepest bow to the Kimberle Crenshaw, law professor and activist, who originally coined the term intersectionality based on Black feminist studies and her recognition of the framing of power and multiplicity of discrimination that Black women experience through the construction and experience of gender and race – pivotal work in understanding the virulence and amplification of bias, racism, and sexism, and additionally applied across identities and isms. Understanding intersectionality has expanded my worldview and recognition of self-truths since I learned of it decades ago. May her work continue to enlighten and enliven others.
