17: Diversity is Not the End Goal...

Catalyst: Inclusion, Advocacy Work, and DEI for Aspiring Disruptors.

In this episode of Catalyst: Inclusion, Advocacy Work, and DEI for Aspiring Disruptors, Niké explores the crucial concepts of diversity and intersectionality, highlighting their differences and their importance in creating truly inclusive environments.

The episode delves into intersectionality, a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. Intersectionality examines how overlapping identities—such as race, gender, class, and sexuality—interact to create unique experiences of privilege and oppression. Crenshaw’s work challenged existing frameworks that failed to recognize these complexities and has since influenced legal and social justice fields.

Niké discusses the pitfalls of focusing solely on diversity without considering intersectionality, such as tokenism and overlooking the specific needs of individuals with multiple marginalized identities.

Listen to the full episode to gain a deeper understanding of these concepts and how they can enhance your approach to inclusion and equity.
