Dr. Kimberlé Crenshaw

Dr. Kimberlé Crenshaw is a law professor and scholar known for developing the concept of intersectionality, which describes how different social identities—such as race, gender, and class—intersect to create unique experiences of discrimination and privilege. Her work highlights that people's challenges can't be fully understood by examining one aspect of their identity alone. Crenshaw's insights have shaped discussions in social justice, legal rights, and equality, emphasizing that addressing multiple forms of discrimination requires a nuanced, inclusive approach.
