1,2,3 testing. :)
Intersectionality is a new term for me but its definition is very familiar and uncomfortable. Everyone of us at some point have experienced Intersectionality. I have experience it myself and witnessed it from others when it comes to the struggle with gender equality, racial justice, and disability. We are so used to being labeled and stereotyped, is like we are driving in cruise control, very passive and we do not notice it. The environment in our work place contributes to the segregation in some cases; and makes us be part of the labeling without seeing. In my case for example, by creating schools and programs just for newcomers, having sheltered classroom, and also secluded areas for specific LD groups. My question is.. Are we helping and supporting our youth? Am I doing the right thing? Or are we just following the rules, and norms that others have already established without asking ourselves...
