Trust Me, I'm an Ally - Part 1
Happy Pride Month!
The month of June is a month in which allyship often becomes a buzzword, as corporations in particular rush to declare their solidarity with LGBTQ+ folks. In this episode, we discuss allyship more broadly; what it means to be an ally to any marginalised community, beyond the performative posturing that happens once per year.
In part 1, we cover some of the research around allyship, and the discrepancies in perception between self-identified allies and the communities they are seeking to help; the pitfalls of allyship from the perspective of accruing 'good person points'; the importance of having resilience and staying power... and much more.
The NPR 'Life Kit' podcast episode we reference in this discussion can be listened to in full here.
Just a heads up that sometimes we might use some colourful language or talk about things that could make you feel some type of way. So, be cool and take care while you're listening.
