Allyship doesn’t come with a badge so people know “you’re a good person.”

“Allies, thanks so much for your support – but stop expecting us to thank you anytime you do anything.”

Allyship is work. It’s proving everyday that you’re here to help others. It’s not about getting a thank you or a pat on the back.

Kim and Dan unpack this idea and what it means for White Americans who want to show People of Color and other marginalized people that they’re allies. Without being douchey.
