Everybody just wanted to check in it's been a minute
They'll let you know what I've been up to so this week. I was in, California
part of the gaya women lead conference
And it was a great event I appreciate Elizabeth McLaughlin for the invite
And I've had a chance to interact with some amazing women I was on a panel with
cam and fo and band Ely
Some amazing women of color doing work from different perspectives around
activism and
non-violence and movement work, and then I gave a keynote and my keynote address focused on intersectionality and
Thinking about what does it mean not only in theory but in our work in our day to day work?
And how we have obligations to the work to do our personal
understanding of how our social identities intersect
And then what that means for us to interact with people from different social identities
So I talked a lot about
My own experience of understanding the multiple parts of myself and not like siloing and separating pieces of who I am and
Then what does that mean for my work with white women in particular?
It was a probably white
Crowd of women to think about what does it mean for us to be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder and work together?
How do we each need to do our own work and come together to really live out?
What I think is a dream of intersectionality that we've been asking for as black women in particular
Since Sojourner Truth since her aunt I a woman's speech so as we cycle back through the waves of feminism
how we can in this wave what some are calling the fourth wave maybe get it right and
worked together across lines of difference
I look forward to continuing to develop those relationships that I started to form at the conference
So that's what I've been up to next week. I'll be in, Florida
talking to lawyers
About talking about race in the workplace and then in a couple weeks. I'll be back in, California
To be a discussant for a panel that looks at the future of diversity in clinical science at the Association for psychological
Sciences and then my TEDx talk is coming up in about a month
So that's what I'm up to and I look forward to coming back to you with some content soon
