Today I am joined by a friend of mine Andrea! She gives us insight on what it looks like to be an aspiring ally to marginalized communities and always be working on it. She also opens up with us and gets personal talking about times in her life where she felt spaces weren't so inclusive to the LGBTQ+ community and how to create inclusivity in your spaces, question your bias + ultimately take action to be better.
