Intersectionality, a term coined by Black feminist scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw, allows us to better understand the full experiences of folks' identities and how they come up against power and privilege. It asks the question of who is missing from important conversations and decision-making, and provides a framework for more empathy and equity. We had the privilege of leading a workshop on intersectionality and how it relates to Pride month last week with IDEX Corporation. If you're interested in a similar conversation in your workplace or team, let's chat!

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a day of liberation and reflection. On June 19, 1865, over 250,000 enslaved Black Americans in Texas finally learned they were free—more than two years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. While Juneteenth marks the end of slavery, it's important that we remember and acknowledge that the journey to freedom was long, and the fight for equality and equity continues today. A more equitable and equal society is possible through our combined efforts. By educating yourself and sharing what you learn, advocating for change, engaging with local organizations focused on social justice and helping amplify those voices. Engage with organization like the Running Industry Diversity Coalition, who are actively dismantling barriers and expanding black-ownership in the running industry. What are some other organizations that deserve our attention for their work in creating a more equitable world?
