In simple terms, an ally is someone who stands up for the equitable and fair treatment of someone who is different from them.

Anyone can be an ally for a marginalized or vulnerable group; it involves actively listening and learning about others’ experiences, as well as taking action to end discrimination. Allyship hinges on embracing a learning mindset and a willingness to question your assumptions, evolve your thinking, and owning your mistakes.

In this webinar, Christa will explore the relationship between inclusion and belonging, reflecting on dimensions of diversity that have shaped our personal access to opportunity.

Christa will investigate the concepts of power and privilege through a relational lens, identifying concrete steps we can take to interrupt bias and address injustice.

Lastly, she’ll delve into real-life scenarios involving micro-aggressions and discrimination, brainstorming ways that allies can take action.

  • Define key terminology related to allyship
  • Make a connection between belonging, engagement, and productivity
