#20 - Allyship Manual: Embrace courageous action

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the final episode of our mini-series on allyship, this week we cover three tangible things you can do to be a true, non-performative ally. In this 3-episode allyship manual arc, we’ve covered what allyship is not and two key practices for shifting to inclusion by default. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the season 2 finale, we take inspiration from a popular pandemic pastime - baking - to illustrate three definitive actions that will help make you a better ally:</span></p> <ol> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Drop the defence</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Respect someone’s courage when they share their truth.</span></li> <li><strong>Don’t be a sheep</strong><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. You have a voice and it counts.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><strong>Don’t make it about you.</strong> When someone needs help, turn the focus on them. </span></li> </ol> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’ve just found us, please give us a rating (just hit the star of your choice, no review needed even). In the spirit of self-care, we will be taking a short break before we kick off season 3 on Friday, September 3. Until then, be good to each other and yourselves!</span></p>
