*As Kizha Davidson writes, “BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous, and people of color, intended to center the experiences of Black and Indigenous groups and demonstrate solidarity between communities of color. [It is seen as] more descriptive than people of color or POC.” To build a better understanding of BIPOC, check out the YWCA’s resources found here.
