Actioning Intersectionality, and Centering Disability Justice
Intersectionality is often left out of the conversation when it comes to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. In this discussion, we make intersectionality the focus, as we sit down with Liza Arnason. Liza is the Founder and Chair of the Board of Directors of the ASE (pronounced ah-SHAY) Community Foundation for Black Canadians with Disabilities. Liza centres Disability Justice and the unique experiences of Black Canadians with disabilities. Corrie and Liza get into the interconnected nature of various identities and underscore the significance of inclusivity and intersectional approaches to social justice. They also highlight the necessity for white individuals to leverage their privilege and power to amplify marginalized voices and foster more diverse and inclusive leadership within disability-led organizations.
