In this episode five current and former fellows engage in round table discussions about their experiences of marginalization and intersectionality within the Jewish and Muslim communities. 

Throughout history folks fall into identities that are marginalized from the majority groups. This trope holds true within religious communities as well.  Alan and Susan share their own experiences and stories of friends and family about how race plays a role in interactions within their respective faiths. Gina and Yasmin discuss their experiences of being a part of religious communities, as women, that have strict gender roles and expectations and are patriarchally rooted. Gina, Matthew, and Alan share their journeys of coming out and being out in communities and families that have historically interpreted religious texts through a lens that does not validate the lifestyle and experience of LGBTQ folks.
