It is important to elevate the voices of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. Below you will find some content from Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and Asian-American authors and speakers. We anticipate adding a section for Arab-American voices in the near future. Similarly, intersectional voices that highlight the complexity of race and other constructs help us to recognize our own multifaceted experiences. Right now we have focused the Intersectional Voices section on black feminism, but are collecting resources around the intersection of race and LGBTQ identities and would love to grow this category with ideas from you. To submit ideas, click the link at the bottom of our homepage.
