Introduction

Welcome to Intersectionality in the American South, where educators, students, activists, and community members come together and unpack current realities for black and indigenous people of color. In each episode, we will discuss the impact of racism, sexism, classism, heterosexism, and anti-immigrant sentiment on the lives of Atlanta residents and BIPOC individuals throughout the south.

Today we're sharing part two of the conversation that I had recently with Dr. Tonya Washington Hicks, Elizabeth West, Lakeyta Bonnette-Bailey, and Desmond Goss. If you haven't listened to part one of this conversation, you should really go do that now. I'm really fortunate to work with all of these folks at Georgia State University and on part two of this conversation.

We are going to explore joy and self-care, so let's get to it.
