We Do Not Live Single-Issue Lives: an interactive class/discussion on Intersectionality

We Do Not Live Single-Issue Lives: an interactive class/discussion on Intersectionality

Gloria Jackson-Nefertiti is very much fascinated by the concept of "Intersectionality," which is why she became interested in teaching this class. Created by Kimberlé Crenshaw, who is an American lawyer and civil rights advocate, "Intersectionality" is what happens when "...multiple forms of discrimination (such as racism, sexism, and classism) combine, overlap, or intersect, ESPECIALLY IN THE EXPERIENCES OF MARGINALIZED INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS" (from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary). A Black trans woman is probably the best example of a marginalized person possessing multiple forms of discrimination and oppression that intersect.

In "We Do Not Live Single Issue Lives," you will begin your journey of learning just how many social identities you may have, as well as how they intersect with each other. (SPOILER ALERT: The number of your overlapping identities is probably way more than you think!)

Presenter Bio: 

Gloria Jackson-Nefertiti (she/her/hers) is a breast cancer survivor, whose 2013 diagnosis provided the catalyst for her to come out as bisexual, sex-positive, and polyamorous (because that was when she realized just how short life is). She is autistic with ADHD/ADD, PTSD, depression/anxiety, mobility challenges, and TBI. Gloria is also a member of the Center for Sex Positive Culture (CSPC) in Seattle, WA, where she serves as a board member, and co-host for both their Neurodivergent and Nonmonogamy Discussion Groups.   

She has been a panelist, frequent podcast guest, and a workshop presenter since 2017, beginning with the very first workshop she created: "Transcending Shame."  

Gloria is currently hard at work on her memoir entitled, "A Different Drum: A Black, Autistic, Polyamorous, Mentally Ill, Former Fundamentalist Christian/Cult Member and Breast Cancer Survivor WHO JUST WANTS TO FIT IN."
