Social service professionals often speak of identity and marginalization in terms of intersectionality, the idea that a person’s experience will be influenced by the total of all the identities they hold. This webinar begins with a scene setting lecture by Washington University Occupational Therapy Instructor Dr. Stacy West-Bruce, followed by a panel discussion moderated by Washington University TRIO Director Dr. Kimberly Morton. Panelists include:
- Makini Anwisye
Adult Services Coordinator, Downs Syndrome Association of Greater St. Louis
- Michkeal Cross
Youth Development Professional, Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Louis
Board Member, The St. Louis Arc
- Sean Gold
Author, Pure Love, Or Is It?
- Dana Walker, MS
Director of Children's Services, St. Louis Arc

Together they explore the context of being Black and living with disabilities in St. Louis. This Inclusive Perspectives event, which shares lived experience, practitioner expertise, and research findings regarding the inclusion of people with disabilities, is co-sponsored by the TRIO program and is part of our recognition of Black History Month.
