For all 'BAME' organisations, organisations who state they work with 'BAME' communities and/or organisations/networks for 'BAME' people, one of the most powerful ways to acknowledge the lived experiences of oppression & dynamic of being 'othered' is to stop using the term 'BAME'.
The term 'BAME' is oppressive itself & reflects a projected identity onto minoritised communities instead of its true dynamic which is of minoritising, othering & oppressing Black & Brown people. For minoritised groups to use the term 'BAME' is to repeat internalised oppression.
Instead being 'minoritised' is a reflection of the relationship between the oppressors and oppressed. Something being done to 1 group by another. Whereas 'minority' reflects an identity of 1 group, ignoring any relationship with those doing the labelling.

Delivering another workshop tomorrow on Working withIN Diversity. So pleased that many counselling services, counsellors and organisations are open to learning about intersectionality, identity & power dynamics in therapeutic spaces, process and relationships #counselling #CPD
I love delivering training. Today is all about #workingwithindiversity and exploring the identity of counsellors & clients in the counselling room and relationship, especially when working with clients from ethnic minority & marginalised communities #counselling #CPD 
So pleased to be able to bring my workshop - Working withIN diversity - to another cohort of counsellors. Exploring identity, intersectionality, power, privilege & oppression. #workingwithindiversity #intersectionality #counselling
Exploring positions of oppression and power. Something which exists in the counselling/therapeutic professions & practice. Can be experienced as microaggressions, criticising or dismissing an 'other's' experiences, work, success, projects or progress. Professional envy is real!
Our afternoon discussion - what impact do you think #intersectionality might have on the counselling process, therapeutic relationship and presenting problem? #counselling #identity
