My Collective Brave: Intersectional Stories

If we aren’t intersectional, some of us, the most vulnerable, are going to fall through the cracks

Dr. Kimberle Crenshaw

WHAT is Intersectionality and WHY is it important when talking about mental health?

Learn More About Intersectionality

In line with intersectionality, This Is My Brave is highlighting stories of our storytellers that encompass identities within any of these intersections:

  • Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Individuals
  • Members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer + (LGBTQ+) communities
  • and/or College Students (CS) living with a mental illness (MI)
