We are intentional in our centering of children, their families, and individuals at the intersection of race and disability. The disability community is the most diverse community in the world and conversations about disability inclusion and belonging that do not also consider intersectionality are at best incomplete.
We specifically focus on Black, Indigenous, and Latinx communities with disabilities as these communities experience the greatest disparities for those with disabilities. The Intersection Collective is committed to amplifying, learning from, and valuing the lived experiences of children and families at the intersection of race and disability.
We believe in the mantra, “Nothing about us without us!” We respect that the BIPOC disability community holds the ideas and solutions that will help close the education and opportunity gap that unjustly impact them. We will work alongside the BIPOC disability community and equity allies to achieve full acceptance, belonging, and access as equal participants in society.
Too often structural barriers to access and inclusion are consequences of disregard. The intersection of ableism and structural racism has further skewed our understanding of the realities of people of color with disabilities.
