Speaker Seema Pothini talked to an audience of 70 people about all the ways people can be made to feel like “the other.” Sometimes it’s race, but it could be other issues: language, disabilities, gender identity, etc. She explained that one fo the most hurtful parts about being ostracized is when other people witness an incident and do not come to the defense of the person being bullied. Seema showed a documentary about Jason Sole and Andre Wright about the work they have done using fashion activism to break down barriers.
