Intersectional Group was founded in 2022 by Zhou Fang, our Principal Practitioner. The framework of Intersectionality is the foundation of our work at Intersectional Group, a consulting firm that centers human emotions and experiences while addressing matters and issues that have significant impacts on individuals, leadership, communities, organizations, and societies.
“We pair our practitioners’ expertise and lived experiences with the approaches of intersectionality, empathy, compassion, and curiosity. This makes our leadership, equity, diversity, and inclusion practice personal – our practitioners represent historically marginalized groups which enables us to bring an intimate, lived perspective to our work. Our focus on intersectionality enables our clients, both individuals and organizations, to understand their challenges with more clarity and address the root causes of issues that prevent equity.”
