Call To Action

Upon watching my piece, I hope the audience will have a better understanding of the forces of intersectionality. I want the audience to enter the world with a new perspective on not only the experiences of women of color, but also on any person that experiences additional levels of disempowerment due to intersectionality.

Bio.

I am a 4th year at UCLA double majoring in Dance and Public Affairs and minoring in African American Studies. "The Gap Between" focuses on the concept of intersectionality, how social categorizations overlap to create additional levels of disempowerment. Specifically, women of color often fall in the gap between race issues and women's issues.

We would like to acknowledge the Tongva peoples as the traditional caretakers of the land UCLA stands on. We are grateful and pay our due respects to ancestors, elders, and relatives past, present, and emerging.
