I've gotten to talk to the bestest friend a couple of times over the past few days. And since bestest friend is also a UU of color, part of our conversation was about the Atlanta survey.
In all the go-around involving the survey, what's been forgotten/lost is that this wouldn't have become a UU social media topic if the woman of color (a member of UUCA) who originally pointed this out had been listened to in the first place.
So many issues, both in the UUA/its member congregations and outside of it, would be looked at differently if the general society just listened to Black women and other women of color.
Intersectionality is real. And things will not change-in the UUA/its member congregations and in the outside world-until those who are at the intersections are fully heard and acknowledged.
