Scenario

When marginalized communities fracture over representation and authenticity

Our community group started because we all felt marginalized in mainstream spaces, but now that we're more established, we're fighting about who gets to represent us publicly and whose version of our shared identity is the 'right' one. The solidarity that brought us together is fracturing over questions of authenticity and leadership.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Communities formed around shared struggle can fragment when success creates competition over narrative control and legitimate representation.
