THRIVE Lifeline’s Post

Multiple marginalization refers to the overlapping experiences of discrimination or oppression faced by individuals who belong to more than one marginalized group. For example, someone who is both a person of color and part of the LGBTQ2S+ community may encounter compounded biases that are more complex than those faced by individuals with just one marginalized identity. These layers of marginalization can create unique challenges, such as navigating systems that fail to acknowledge the full scope of our experiences or struggling to feel fully seen and supported in spaces meant to uplift only one aspect of our identities. However, while multiple marginalization brings challenges, it also fosters extraordinary strengths. Those of us living in the intersections often develop profound resilience, adaptability, & empathy. The ability to navigate & bridge diverse experiences can lead to building powerful communities & advocating for change in ways that uplift others who share similar struggles. Although the path is not always easy, it is one of immense strength and courage, proving that even in the face of compounded barriers, we can thrive.
