‘Allyship is mostly performative and often does more harm than good’
Kit Marie Rackley presented a challenging DEIJ Hot Take for the first recorded interview that was a pleasure to explore and help people understand this key approach to DEIJ work.
Key Takeaways to build into our DEIJ work:
- True allyship involves a sharing or transferral of power and privilege. Using the spaces that we have access to platform voices which are typically marginalised or excluded from the decision-making process.
- Where discomfort may occur, we can reflect and identify what is making us uncomfortable as a point from which to move forward – we do not have to be uncomfortable being an ally!
