Allyship requires us to become aware of our relative privilege — even within a marginalized community — and make conscious efforts to undo our own biases, champion causes that matter, and act fairly as colleagues and emerging leaders.

To be a better ally:

🙌 Understand what lack of privilege looks like. Many marginalized communities, for example, face obstacles that make it hard for them to show up as their full selves at work. Educating yourself on these barriers is the first step to becoming an ally.

🙌 Learn about the different communities you want to support. When you do, you’ll be able to uncover your own unconscious biases and understand how to identify problematic thought patterns and beliefs you may hold.

🙌 Finally, put your allyship to practice. Speak up when you encounter a bias, model inclusive behaviors, and embrace inclusive language as it evolves.
