012: 7 Habits of Effective Allyship Pt. 1: Ego, Exploring Identity, and Choosing Curiosity

"In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it.” —Marianne Williamson As with many self-initiated journeys, there are habits and tips that can help you along; the journey to building allyship is no different. In September 2020, I launched a membership community for healthcare and wellness professionals who wanted to learn what true allyship looks like. My mission was to provide a platform for BIPOC professionals to share their expertise, facilitate a space of accountability, challenge ideas in a constructive way, nurture community learning, and help others strengthen their voices and stance as advocates in their own communities. Observing Building Allyship community members over the last few years gave me insight into soft skills and approaches that made their journeys successful and over the next 3 episodes I will be sharing 7 habits for building effective allyship.
