According to Falcón, merging Du Bois and Anzaldúa's concepts is necessary to fully comprehend "how gendered racism shape [Sofía's, Mónica's, and Martha's] lives and why they have a desire to forge transnational solidarity with other women in the African Diaspora of the Americas".

However, Du Bois and Anzaldúa's perspectives are limited in their abilities to capture all the dimensions of the three Afro-Peruvian women leaders' life experiences, which are based on race, gender, and nation.
