Our conversation then shifts to the topic of intersectionality including the origination of the term and the importance of talking about this topic, especially as black women. Both Latasha and I place a high value on truth-telling and we briefly discuss importance of telling the truth not just in life but also as it relates to the topic of intersectionality.
