Intersectionality recognises that people belong to multiple social categories at the same time (this means, evidently, we all have gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and are born into a certain socio-economic class). These social categories are overlapping and interconnected, not independent (this means, for example, that an African American woman is not African American one day and a woman the next – she is always an African American woman). Everyone’s experiences are unique, because experiences of one social category are also linked to membership of their other categories.
Delta works with your organisation to examine the status quo through an intersectional lens and work toward cultural change that meets your organisation’s goals.
