Identity & Intersectionality
Tash Koster-Thomas
Tash (she/her) is an Inclusion and Diversity Consultant, presenter, speaker and LGBTQ+ Activist, who is at the forefront of conversation.
Our identity is made up of several dimensions of diversity including gender, race, sexual orientation, class, disability and many more. However, in the process of seeking equality, we are often viewed as our individual identities, without consideration for how multiple identities can intersect. This workshop explores identity and the definition of intersectionality and how it impacts us.
Also focusing on allyship and how to challenge non inclusive behaviours, creating space for conversation and evolving discussions, empowering individuals to actively practice inclusion every day.
