Active Allyship...it's more than a #hashtag!"
Active Allyship... it’s more than a #hashtag! Now is the time for honest, unfiltered conversation. For authentic voices and their stories. And for connection. Join Sunni and Lisa as they confront the moment head-on with a podcast that’s as substantive, passionate, and as real as the lives behind the headlines."Active Allyship… it’s more than a #hashtag!" goes beyond the likes, the retweets, and the hashtags, making space for the vital dialogue necessary for racial justice. Allyship calls for self-reflection, support for other perspectives, and hearing other voices. Sunni and Lisa dig deep in each episode, getting to the heart of:* What it takes to be an ally* How racism exists in ways you don’t see* The dos and don’ts of talking to friends and family about racism* How good intentions in fighting for racial justice aren’t always enough* How racist feelings or biases aren’t just reserved for the KKK or hate organizations* Guilt and the myth of the white savior* The steps everyone must take to dismantle systemic racism in everyday life.Allies matter. Together—through honesty, tears, laughter and good faith—we make a difference. The vital healing, collaboration, and uplift humanity needs depends on allies. Are you ready to become an active ally?
