The Intersection Podcast
Welcome to The Intersection, a Canadian podcast, where we talk about intersectionality and its impact on wellbeing. Each episode we challenge what it means to be inclusive by exploring how social identities affect how one is treated by society, the wellness industry, and the world. Join your hosts for unfiltered conversations about the many intersections of wellness, politics, current events, social justice, pop culture and history! Unfiltered includes some jokes, awkward moments, and laughs along the way!
