Excerpt from “LGBTQ+ Leaders: Kris Berg advocates for marginalized communities in Boston” by David Cifarelli, originally posted in MassLive:
“In Berg’s words: ‘My advice to advocates embarking on similar journeys is to embrace the intricate tapestry of your own intersecting identities and lived experiences. I believe it is crucial to understand how your positionality shapes your approach to advocacy. I encourage advocates to engage in continuous self-reflection to better understand and interrogate their personal worldviews.’”
