[image description: A screenshot of a YouTube announcement is displayed, indicating that the video has been uploaded. With an image of Stephanie "Najma" Johnson, a Black DeafBlind Panqueer folk, is signing "why". A light skinned child sits on Najma's lap, looking to the right. Black background with a faded opacity of intersectional souls project photo of intertwining fingers in background. Bottom text reads: "What exactly is intersectionality?" in blue font.] Transcript/description of Teaser - What exactly is intersectionality?
Many thanks to Leah Geer for providing this transcript. [opening screen: black background with three hands, two adult and one child, forming the sign INTERSECTIONALITY. A single empty black chair sits in the middle of the screen. Text over the image reads “What exactly is intersectionality? (the word ‘exactly’ is larger and in purple, while the rest of the text is in white). the bottom right reads “A conversation with Najma”] [Najma, wearing a blue top and a black hat signing on a black background]: My name is N-a-j-m-a [screen fades and white text appears on a black background: Najma is a community educator whose focus is on educating DDBDDHH* folks about intersectionality and social justice] [Najma]: we’ve been collaborating and having conversations with a host of individuals because each have their own experiences and they all come together. [Najma sits conversing with another individual wearing all black] [Najma ]: (I’m) Black, I’m DeafBlind, I’m queer, I have many identities. And all of these relate to my experience of oppression. I’ve experienced oppression because I’m black, because I’m DeafBlind, queer, etc. All of these are tightly bound and form an intersection of identities that work to impact me in a particular way. [Najma seated on a mostly black background with the same image of the sign INTERSECTIONALITY as appeared in the opening screen. A small genderless child sits on Najma’s lap wearing a onesie that reads “seriously handsome”]: Until xe grows up and can identify however xe wants so we can follow that, I would never identify x as deaf only because it’s not true. [screen fades to black and then white text appears: We are doing this video as a part of a fundraiser to support Black Deaf youth of all intersectional identities*. Text disappears.
