Crenshaw's findings give women and girls the language to thrive. Such an important real-world issue

Excellent and powerful speech...I just have one thing to add. In discussions surrounding intersectionality, the one intersection that is repeatedly missing is disability! Disability crosses all aspects of sexism, racism, misogyny, heteronormativity, but yet, continues to be hidden. Isn't it about time discussions on intersectionality include disability too?

I. Am. Stunned. I never knew about 70-80% of all the things women of color had to deal with and I feel outraged --- wishing I could take back my years and find a way to be a better advocate and ally sooner in my life.

"...So they no longer hold our visions of the possible hostage to the failures of our past."

This is such a powerful, beautiful talk. So many sentences that I would love to go so much deeper on. Thank you Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw for all of your work and for sharing it with us.

Heartbreaking, powerful, and brilliant, thank you so much.

Why do so many YouTube videos featuring Prof. Kimberlé Crenshaw have the comments turned off? It speaks volumes.

Anyone cringing at how late they are to the party in 2020? She was calling all this stuff out in 2016. She described Breonna's scenario exactly. It's chilling.
