We \;all \;deserve \;to \; have \;our \;voices \;heard\; \;our \;faces \;and& nbsp\;experiences \;reflected \;in \;culture and \;media\; \;and \;our \;unique \;needs \;addressed \;throug h \;relevant \;policies. \;To achieve this goal\, it is critic al that we consider intersectionality. This concept highlights the fact th at aspects of our identities \; \;(i.e.\, gender\, race\, sexual o rientation\, ability status\, etc.) \;cannot be examined in isolation from one another \;and that\, together\, these features intersect to s hape our individual experience. \;
\nWhen \;we \;fail&nb sp\;to \;incorporate \;intersectionality \;into \;our \;everyday \;practices \;and \;policies\, \;we \;leave \;parts \;of our communities \;behind. \;In this \;po litical climate marked by division and anxiety\, it&rsquo\;s important for us to work together to incorporate \;​and acknowledge \;di fferent communities' \;experiences within our \;culture\, policies \, \;media​\, and healthcare system\, as well as all other crit ical areas that impact health and well-being.
