Discussion post

Before class, you have reviewed the materials on intersectionality. Reflect on how intersecting dimensions of the client's cultural identity (race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and ability) impacts the dynamics around the client's presenting issue. In groups of 3-4, address the following prompts: 

• Explain intersectionality in your own words. 
• Use intersectionality to explain the dynamics experienced by the people who occupy multiple marginalized identities (identity (race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and ability).
• Discuss how the intersecting identities of the clients presented in the video exacerbate their issues.
• 250-300 words
