Episode description

Join hosts Ashley, Melton Fellow from USA, and Gloria, Melton Fellow from Chile, as they delve into "Intersecting Identities: Navigating Inclusion through Intersectionality". In their words, "We engage with a diverse array of voices and perspectives, amplifying the voices of those who have historically been marginalized or silenced. From exploring the experiences of queer people of color and disabled individuals to highlighting the challenges faced by immigrant communities and indigenous peoples, we strive to foster a deeper understanding of the intersecting barriers that hinder full participation and inclusion in society."

"Moreover, we examine the critical role of intersectional feminism and social justice movements in challenging systemic injustices and advocating for policies and practices that prioritize the needs and rights of all individuals, regardless of their intersecting identities. By centering the experiences and perspectives of those at the margins, we aim to cultivate empathy, awareness, and solidarity across diverse communities, laying the groundwork for meaningful social change and collective liberation.

Whether you're a seasoned activist, a curious bystander, or someone navigating your own intersecting identities, join us as we embark on a journey of exploration and reflection, uncovering the transformative potential of intersectionality as a framework for building more inclusive, equitable, and compassionate societies for all."
