Identity categories in demographic questions may not be mutually exclusive; to be inclusive and accurate, we may encourage respondents to select multiple options. Analyzing and sharing this data can prove challenging. Share your questions and strategies for approaching this work in this space.

This is a great question. Some strategies I have seen are;
Collapsing categories: If participant ethnicity is part of the data that is collected, perhaps, they can be collapsed into broader categories such as Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino.
Regarding sharing this type of data, visualization is a great concept to adapt. The use of a Pie chart, and Barchart can be used to showcase the represented categories.
I am curious to hear other methods and concepts.
