Highlighting the Intersections: Cyntoia Brown and #SurvivingRKelly

February 1, 2019

In the wake of Cyntoia Brown’s clemency hearing and the debut of the #SurvivingRKelly docu-series, there has been much more talk about the intersections of violence and the ways in which violence, patriarchy, and racism intersect to create a culture of misogynoir.

The following resources may be helpful in exploring the intersections of identities, in particular when looking at how systems and systemic barriers intersect to further marginalize Black women and girls.
