GLAAD sat down with Kiyun Kim, creator of the photo project Racial Microaggressions, to talk intersectionality and representation

“Often when we speak out about it, people tell us, ‘oh they’re just ignorant’ or 'they are curious.’ Our voices are silenced. I wanted other people of color to empathize and connect to the issue, and maybe use it as a way to tell others hey, this happens to me, and it hurts me. I wanted people to reflect on themselves as well, because I know I’ve personally committed some microaggressions to other people of color.”

“Representation is crucial, even required. I think one can feel a very odd alienation when they’re not represented… Intersectional representation allows people to feel connected and less alone.”
