Shownotes

" You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world and you have to do it all the time." - Angela Davis

"My objective here is to advance the telling of that location by exploring the race and gender dimension of violence against women of colour. Contemporary feminist and anti-racist discourses, have failed to consider the intersections of racism and patriarchy... Because of their intersectional identity as both women and people of colour within discourses that are shaped to respond to one or the other, the interests and experiences of women of colour are frequently marginalised within both." - Kimberle Crenshaw, "Mapping the margins"

"Through an awareness of intersectionality (of abuse,) we can better acknowledge and ground the differences among us."

Grace expounds on the importance of interconnected nature of social categorisations such as race, class and gender as they apply to a given individual or group. It is regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage.
