Understanding this quote
The speaker describes intersectionality as a perspective—a “prism” for examining how different aspects of people’s lives may shape their experiences together. This perspective can guide advocacy, policy, and everyday decisions toward greater fairness. The point is not only to understand inequality, but to use that broader view when working toward more equitable futures.
