In this video, writer and comedian Akilah Hughes uses the metaphor of pizza to explain intersectionality. In brief, it goes something like this: in a world made for Burgers, Cheese Pizza is trying to argue that it deserves the same rights as Burgers. In that struggle, what is a Pizza with toppings other than cheese supposed to do?
It's not a perfect metaphor, but I think it's a way to help students start thinking about intersectionality.
