Becoming a Valuable Ally
Manage episode 283726459 series 2867209
It is extremely important for us to understand the meaning of being valuable allies, more so now than ever, to the Black community in light of recent events following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis among several others. There has been a surge of awareness around the Black Lives Matter movement, a plethora of resources and information circulated which has led to a whole lot of internal conflict and confusion about how we can educate ourselves to be better and do better.
In this episode, we talk about how to work on the personal aspects of allyship, where we look at our privilege, behaviours and tendencies head on and question them. We touch on how to approach difficult conversations at the dinner table in South Asian households, where stigma is prevalent and difficult topics are swept under the rug.
We hope that this conversations provides you with some useful insights and perhaps a little more clarity amidst everything that is happening in the current climate.
