If you were lucky enough to attend the ‘Intersectional Allyship’ workshop at our Summit with Chimwemwe Chirwa and Dr Phyll Opoku-Gyimah, you will have heard from them about the importance of taking an intersectional approach to anti-racism and allyship.
Below is a comprehensive list of resources compiled by Chim that can help you with your knowledge and understanding of intersectionality.
This is a brilliant resource with plenty for you to begin with! But if there’s anything that you think is missing and you’d like us to add, please get in touch.
