It demands that we do better by one another so that we can be more powerful together."-Alicia Garza, The Purpose of Power: How We Come Together When We Fall Apart

"Diversity is what happens when you have representation of various groups in one place. Representation is what happens when groups that haven’t previously been included, are included. Intersectionality is what happens when we do everything through the lens of making sure that no one is left behind. More than surface-level inclusion, or merely making sure everyone is represented, intersectionality is the practice of interrogating the power dynamics and rationales of how we can be together."-Alicia Garza, The Purpose of Power: How We Come Together When We Fall Apart
