What is allyship? Your questions answered (Educator/Leader)
The Meaning of Allyship & How Leaders Can Show It
In our work to advance a culture of belonging within organizations and communities, we’ve found many leaders asking us, “How can I serve as an ally for others?” And more fundamentally, “What is allyship?”
In the past, we’ve delivered webinars and training sessions where we’ve shared some of our thinking on the meaning of allyship and the role that leadership plays within our organizations and communities.
We’ve used the questions we often receive about allyship to offer the following recommendations, which we hope are helpful. In sharing our approach to these responses, we also hold space as 2 facilitators with different backgrounds, perspectives, and identities.
