The Intersectionality of Black Life and Being: a Community-Based Research Pilot Project

The Intersectionality of Black Life and Being: a Community-Based Research Pilot Project

The “Intersectionality of Black Life and Being” report was produced with a community-based research (CBR) framework that departs Forsyth Futures’ traditional research approach. This report, commissioned by the Black Philanthropy Initiative of the Winston-Salem Foundation, was a collaboration among Action4Equity, Forsyth Futures, and a dedicated group of research participants from the Black community in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. Unlike conventional research, this community-based approach actively involved Black people from the local community as co-leaders and decision-makers, ensuring mutual ownership over many aspects of the research process.

The data in this post looks at the US as a whole; it was produced using the US Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey.
