This is part of our series titled Stronger Together: Promoting Racial Justice through Awareness and Action. 

Stronger Together will provide UF faculty and staff with a series of educational offerings to help them better understand and address racism and bias and help promote racial justice at the individual, institutional, and systemic levels. The context of fostering awareness, building capacity, and promoting action will weave throughout the offerings. This series will help UF move forward in efforts to combat anti-black racism and to promote a more diverse and inclusive campus.  

This week’s podcast is titled How To Become An Ally. In this episode, we will cover what it means to be an ally including the importance of self-reflection and empowerment. It will also cover immediate actions you can take to become an ally, as well as individual, departmental, and community steps that can be taken to build allyship and create a more inclusive environment. Presented by Tiffany Pineda and Kristina Forman.
