I Am Beautifully Different

I see the world through a unique lens, as you do, too. Our distinct views lead to diverse perspectives, beliefs, and interpretations. My intersectionalities shape how I perceive the world:

1. Born to an African mother and an English father

2. Female/Woman

3. Born in Wales

4. Biracial heritage

5. Black

6. Embodying African culture

7. Child of divorced parents

8. Raised by a single mother

9. Grew up in poverty

10. Grew up in a civil war

11. Navigating a traumatic childhood

12. Living with PTSD

13. Teenage mother

14. Single mother

15. Mother of twins

16. Mother of black children

17. Divorced

18. Married

19. Educated

20. Christian

21. 47 years old

22. Heterosexual

23. Customer Service Supervisor

24. Working class

25. Single income

26. English language (Just about 😂)

Acknowledging my intersectionalities helps shape my understanding of the world and reminds me that every perspective, though different, is valid and worthy of respect.

I embody various dimensions of different aspects.

Each person is a unique tapestry woven from diverse thoughts, skills, experiences, and stories. It's natural to desire shared beliefs and perspectives, but it's important to recognise that the world is made up of individuals who have their own rich narratives. Understanding this can help foster compassion and patience in our interactions with others.

Intersectionality is the acknowledgement that everyone has their own unique experiences of discrimination and oppression, and we must consider everything and anything that can marginalise people – gender, race, class, sexual orientation, physical ability, etc.

An intersectional lens isn't a physical item but a concept or framework that aims to explain why every person sees the world in a unique way. It's the compilation of all the influences and unique experiences in our lives that come together to shape our worldview.
