Session: Given the Choices We Have: The Power of Allyship
Allyship means supporting marginalized groups while speaking out against discrimination, prejudice, and oppression. Being an ally goes beyond just offering support, it entails taking action and leading by example.
This lightning talk explores the role of allyship in creating a more inclusive community by taking the audience on a choose your own adventure journey inspired by the invisible knapsack. Participants will consider the very real impacts of marginalization and learn different ways to be an ally. They will leave with inspiration and ideas on how they can make a positive impact by speaking up and advocating for others.
