Ep. 54 Inclusive Allies: Becoming One & Raising One - A Roundtable Discussion - Part 2
Today, we are joined by several of our 2023 expert panelists to discuss the topics of oppression, bias, inclusivity, and becoming allies. As parents it is up to us to have these conversations with our children in order to break the patterns of historic and ongoing oppression. As humans living within a society filled with people different from us, it is essential we also dive into this work for ourselves. Today we explore becoming an ally ourselves, while also raising our children to be inclusive allies.
Our first HER Health Collective Roundtable of 2023 features the following HER Expert panelists:
Dr. Charryse Johnson – experienced Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor offering over 20 years of experience serving as a counselor, consultant, and educator. She holds a PhD in Counseling Psychology, NCC 2021.
Erin Baute - background in human development and behavior change and organizational psychology
LaToshia Rouse - doula and owner of Birth Sisters Doula services. Consultant for healthcare systems on quality improvement.
Jessika Shields - founder and CEO of Stronger Mind Stronger Youth and I am a licensed educational psychologist and a school psychologist.
Maris Feeley - Full-Spectrum Doula, Childbirth Educator, Co-Owner and Director of Carolina Birth & Wellness
Kyrsten Spurrier - owner of the Perinatal Pelvis in Hillsborough, North Carolina, where I provide pelvic floor therapy and maternal wellness.

Today’s episode includes a discussion of the following topics:
Understanding that you must earn trust before you really become an ally
The often performative nature of allyship
The importance of elevating voices different from your own
The intentionality and constant nature needed for this work, not just at certain times of the year
RIR model - Recognize, Interrupt, Repair
Showing solidarity and interrupting publicly versus behind the scenes
Being a disruptor in front, rather than from behind
Learning to manage the discomfort somatically
The importance of looking at who you do life with
Teaching inclusiveness must begin at a young age
Look at diversity of books, toys, educational materials & the importance of showing joy, not just history
Appreciating the full spectrum of a person
Teaching the differences in cultures as well as differences within a culture
